The tower spirals 170 meters above the busy streets and will house educational facilities for fashion design, computer programming and medical support in three tapered wings. The building includes several ecological features, including a double-glassed air flow window system and a natural air ventilation system.
The tower is supported by a strong inner truss tube constructed of concrete-filled steel tubular columns with structural braces affixed around the base. Fitted with some of the most robust seismic engineering in the region, it acts as a central pillar supporting the three gently tapering wings.
The twisted glass and steel spiral is meant to evoke, “the enthusiasm of students from three schools, twining and rising up to the sky then departing to the real world”, officials told local media.
