Text description provided by the architects. Located in Guangzhou’s new city center of Zujiang, R&F Yingkai Square emerges as part of a larger master plan of mixed-use towers that collectively signify the stature of Guangzhou as a major metropolitan city. The simple yet iconic form of the tower traces inspiration from the abundant local bamboo plants, rising 296 meters and defined by the building’s asymmetrically carved corners as well as the veining of vertical strips on the façade that provide a sense of visual movement. The strips compress and stretch as they rise, starting more dense at the base to enhance the sense of gravity. The Park Hyatt Guangzhou hotel occupies the building's uppermost floors, with office space below, and subway connections below grade.
