Shenzhen stock exchange building
Completed in 2013
51 Floors
The building's raised podium floats 36 meters above the ground.
The building is nicknamed "the miniskirt".
The design adopted the Green Building Code of China.
The building saves 40 % more water and 20 % more energy than required in order to receive the Green Building Code's three star rating.
The building is conceived as a physical materialization of the virtual stock market: it is a building with a floating base, representing the stock market.
Archetect: Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA Rotterdam)
The SZSE project was led by OMA partners Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten, and associate Michael Kokora, in collaboration with partners Ellen van Loon and Shohei Shigematsu.
