Architizer just published some images of
Steven Holl's project in Chengdu (China). I post some of these images and invite the reader to check out
Architizer's page (if not already checked). The original text has been written and published by Kelsey Keith.
Chinese society changes rapidly and faces with an incredible urbanization. Constructions are programed here and there. Chengdu is among these changing cities where urban development is modifying the shape of the city.
Steven Holl just unveiled his latest project
Sliced Porosity Block, located in Chengdu. This consists of a gridded exterior over a luminous volume.
Steven Holl says about this project that "Its sun sliced geometry results from required minimum daylight exposures to the surrounding urban fabric prescribed by code and calculated by the precise geometry of sun angles."
As Kelsey Keith writes for
Architizer, the shell is currently in a state of heavy construction.
The building may be completed in 2012.
More pictures and original post are available on
