Regular readers of this blog will know that my main beef is the quality of information about projects to be found on most of the architecture news aggregation sites. So even when I hesitate to say anything more profound about a project, I feel that it is only right to complement one that does try to inform. This one happens to be a competition entry, so you could put down the apparent readiness to explain the scheme to self promotion, or even that it was simply cut and pasted from the competition documents. No matter, the point is that there is something here for the conscientious reader to learn from.
The project is for a 60 storey mixed use tower for Fushun City in China, by Studio 7 of Urban Architecture (UA Studio 7), an indigenous firm that seems to have grown spectacularly over the last 10 or 12 years, establishing long-term cooperative relationships with high-end real estate
developers.
