This landmark project will showcase social, economic and environmental sustainability within China,

providing an entertaining and instructive experience for local people and visitors.

Design features: Based on the traditional Chinese Phoenix – two birds, male Feng and female Huang; The plan was

generated from Yin/Yang form to represent perfectly balanced union; Symbiotic – the Feng tower uses cutting edge

technology to feed the Huang tower with renewable power.

Environmental features: Lightweight photovoltaic cladding; thermal chimneys; suspended air gardens; wind turbines;

water harvesting/recycling; waste recycling via biomass boilers; hydrogen fuel cells at ground level. The towers will

generate their own power requirement while contributing to the surrounding district.

Structural features: Steel superstructure; concrete core with ‘hat’ truss; trussed structure at base; out-riggered for

lateral stability; concrete buttresses.
