Plasma Studio wins mixed-use competition
20 July 2010 15:37:03
Plasma Studio has won first prize in an invited competition for one of two mixed-use twin tower complexes in Datong, Shanxi province, China.
The project comprises 70,000 m2 of floor area split between a hotel in one tower and offices in the other. Plasma's concept seeks to express the bi-polar nature of the brief through the introduction of a central light well in each tower strung together by a common public lobby that spirals upwards to an accessible roofscape.
According to Plasma Studioes, the towers' inner cores "assist in the low-energy ventilation design which – in alignment to a parametric differentiated facade concept – seeks to minimize energy use and maximize ambiant quality and expression."
