This #twisting #skyscraper in Chongqing was inspired by the shape of the northern lights (sketches in image 10). The recently completed building, designed for Chongqing Gaoke Group by @aedas_architects, rises 180-metres above the city and offers over 60,000 square metres of office space.

The 39-storey skyscraper uses double-curved cold formed glass to achieve a twisting angle of up to 8.8 degrees per floor in places.

In a statement, Aedas explained that the building's design "celebrates light as the major tool to define architecture".

This new #four #tower development is set to rise beside the UN Headquarters in #Neuferts New York. Designed by #Bjarke #Ingels Group (BIG), #Freedom #Plaza and the Museum of Democracy will be constructed on a 2.7 hectare site beside the East River.

The project’s two 51-storey hotel #skyscrapers will be linked by a dramatic #twisting skybridge at their summit. They’ll sit alongside two residential towers arranged around a new 3-block-sized public park and the #spiralling #Museum of Democracy.

The #residential #skyscrapers will contain 1,325 apartments of which around 40% are expected to reserved for #affordable #housing.
