This project in Shenzhen, China is a long mixed-use complex which includes office spaces, apartments, a hotel and even a public landscape. The concept of the design is to make the “building appears as if it were once floating on a higher sea that has now subsided; leaving the structure propped up high on eight legs.” Designed by Steven Holl.
