In Shenzhen, in southeastern China, the headquarters of the Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank, designed by the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) architectural firm were recently completed. The building is a 158-metre-tall, 33-story tower built on the edge of a public park in one of the main commercial districts of the modern Chinese metropolis. To meet the comfort needs of the building’s indoor spaces – taking into consideration the warm tropical climate of this region – the architects adopted solutions that respect the principles of sustainability and biophilia.
