© Baiyu climate and energy saving Shenzhen radio and television financial center building is located in Futian central area, close to the existing radio and television building in the south.
There is a public square between the two buildings.
We conceive Shenzhen radio and television financial center building as a super high-rise building that can adapt to the climate conditions of excessive sunshine and hot air in Lingnan all year round.
We have abandoned the typical glass curtain wall of skyscrapers and established an effective shading system to reduce light pollution and urban heat island effect.
© Rkatsiteli © Rkatsiteli © Bai Yu, we designed an integral 600mm deep shading grid on the building facade, in which the width of horizontal shading components gradually narrowed upward from 1.5m at the bottom of the podium to 0.3m at the top of the tower.
The vision of building users gradually opens with the changes of shading components, and these changes also give the building facade a unique and powerful rhythm.
As a result, the utilization rate of curtain wall glass is reduced by about 40% compared with the conventional design, so as to provide people with a more environment-friendly work and living place.

There are no columns at the four corners to make the field of vision more open.
The two multi-storey courtyards and the garden on the podium roof provide people with outdoor places to rest, socialize and work.
At the same time, these places also enjoy excellent vision.

There is an overhead square in the middle of the colonnade, which provides 1400 square meters of activity space with a roof for the public.
Colonnade Arcade © Baiyu overhead square © How does Baiyu skyscraper and regionalism reflect the regionality of contemporary skyscrapers? This is a topic we ask ourselves repeatedly in design.
The hot and rainy climate in Lingnan has never become an obstacle for people to embrace the outdoor environment or enjoy life.
People use architectural vocabulary, including low-carbon ways, to deal with the inconvenience brought by these climate – from the use of colonnades, roofed outdoor spaces and courtyards to all kinds of shading systems; These terms not only gave birth to the local architectural types, but also nourished the Lingnan lifestyle.
© Rkatsiteli © From a certain level, our task in Shenzhen is to create a super high-rise office environment in line with this lifestyle from a contemporary perspective and approach, and make this environment more open, green and vibrant.
