LEATOP

Voted one of the most beautiful buildings in Southeast China, the goal of Leatop was to express lightness and simplicity in a building with spans that would be conducive to commercial leasing. This is achieved through the diagonal structure that runs in a single direction and that causes the building to appear to flatten at the corners while also contorting due to perspectival affect as the eye moves towards the top of the building. It is also achieved through the use of tubular structural concept that literally makes the building 30% lighter. IMAGES BY RAINER VIERTLBOECK
