Thiết kế của tháp FrenchDreamTowers được lấy cảm hứng từ nghệ thuật thời trang đặc sắc của Pháp với nghệ thuật truyền thống của Trung Hoa hòa quyện với vẻ đẹp nên thơ của cảnh quang nơi đây
Delimited by these bodies of water, the ground floor serves as a public space that sprawls under an undulating roof, reminiscent of the hilly landscapes surrounding the West Lake. It is supported, Legendre explains, by a "large wooden frame which highlights both Chinese and French skills in wood construction." A pool above it collects and channels rainfall while creating a central courtyard for occupants, and further up, the towers are crowned by tree-lined greenhouses which double as communal spaces.
A blockchain support-network created by Hangzhou-based Gold Truffle Engineering will manage air quality, energy storage and the multitude of environmental systems interacting within the towers. This will be the first application of a massive internet-of-things superstructure designed to address the needs of future smart-cities—stimulated in part by a Chinese commitment to spend more than $360 billion on renewable energy by 2020.
The mixed-use development is to serve a wide variety of public and private functions. The four towers will house spaces catering to Chinese demands, leveraging record profits in French exports of luxury products, food, art and technology. These include fusion restaurants, panoramic bars, hotels, spas, fashion shops, tech hubs, coworking spaces, art galleries and artists' residences. All areas will be connected through the natural spaces as well as an aerial-walk, encouraging the exchange of ideas and future collaborations between disciplines.
Drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as French fashion, Chinese history and horticulture, the FrenchDreamTowers suggest a world where cultural and economic exchanges cycle as naturally as patterns of evaporation and precipitation—a give-and-take that engenders more than great architecture, but a future where the boundaries between technology, culture and nature begin to blur. ref: fobes.com
