Golden A' Design Award Winner 2023

Aedas's Office and Commercial tower deploys a rich vocabulary of symbolic form language that communicates corporate aspiration and progressive identity through its distinctive spiraling metallic ribbon, this diagonal gesture may be interpreted as embodying forward momentum and dynamic transformation, qualities increasingly valued in contemporary business culture that celebrates innovation and adaptability over static permanence, the ribbon's apparent motion from lower left ascending toward upper right follows the natural reading direction of many writing systems and thus subconsciously suggests growth, progress, and upward trajectory, the choice of reflective water as the primary foreground element activates ancient symbolic associations between still water and contemplation, wisdom, and the revelation of truth through reflection, the perfect mirror image created in the pool suggests themes of duality, correspondence between realms, and the philosophical proposition that surface appearances contain deeper realities, the tower's blue glass skin may evoke associations with sky, water, and air, elements traditionally connected with expansiveness, clarity, and the realm of thought and aspiration, while the silver-white metallic cladding suggests purity, technological sophistication, and precious value, the presence of the traditional pagoda structure on the distant hillside creates a meaningful dialogue between contemporary architectural ambition and historical cultural continuity, suggesting that the new development honors rather than supplants existing cultural landmarks, the horizontal pavilion structures with their dramatic cantilevers communicate sheltering protection and welcoming gesture, their angular forms perhaps evoking wings or outstretched arms, the careful integration of verdant landscape elements speaks to contemporary values of environmental harmony and biophilic connection, the overall composition presenting a vision of corporate success achieved through innovation while remaining grounded in cultural context and natural setting.

Inspired by the dancing aurora, the designer introduced an impressive façade design through bottom to top connections between the northern and eastern sides. The dance of light is characterized by the juxtaposition of rectilinear forms and tower facades with double curves. This 201M high office tower has the strong feature of a Double Curved Facade, which put it among one of The Most Twisting Towers in the World.
