The latest project from Italian architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas features a dramatic tower shaped by bold diagonal cuts. The proposal was awarded first prized for the competition to design Shenzhen’s Guosen Securities tower, and, typical of the Fuksas pair, the schematic design carries a strong presence with the shear mass of the volume broken down into a more manageable scale thanks to the three-dimensional voids. The tower will be the first ecological tall building to be built in Shenzhen.

Edging past seven other firms, the winning proposal explores new concepts in vertical public space within the structure and form of a tower. Each void created by the zig-zagging slashes provides a public space amidst the floors of office spaces.
