MAD architects are now working on a new project, Urban Forest
Located in chongqing, china. Drawing on the mountainous landscape of the country, the commercial high-rise building with over 70 floors is made up of curved, abstracted shaped floors which have been layered slightly off-center from one another to give the facade an organic look as it rises up into the sky.
A central cylindrical core structure supports all the floors and hosts the mechanical systems and elevators.
Each floor is also covered in floor-to-ceiling glass windows, providing expansive views of the city. A walk-around balcony of differing widths hosts the green garden space, as well as pools, trees, and courtyards. Some floors are nothing but open space, while others contain offices or residential space. Each floor is seen as a separate and unique level of the urban forest and is meant to combine both nature and the urban metropolis.
