The Sense of Speed in Urban Identity
Ruian, a key global EV component hub, embodies "speed" through its new energy vehicle industry and urban development. This momentum translates into architectural language: sweeping, powerful lines connect city to building, while reflective surfaces evoke futurism.
Interconnected Urban Scales
The project integrates a city square, podium (commercial/auditorium), and office tower. A ribbon-like concave structure unifies these typically isolated modules, linking the entrance square, podium facade, and tower interiors. This continuum—spanning public plaza, facade articulation, and indoor observation deck—creates a cohesive urban narrative.
City as Architectural Material
Curved mirrors embedded in the glass curtain wall surrealistically merge the cityscape with the building’s volume. Speed-inflected architectural forms interplay with distorted urban reflections, reinforcing the structure’s identity as both a physical and symbolic extension of Ruian’s industrial dynamism. The design merges tangible materials and abstract concepts to amplify the city’s forward-driven ethos.
