TPT, Three Partnership Tower
Master Plan The TPT (Three PartnershipTower – related to Three Partnership Temple, which is the name of the area in memory of a temple that once existed there) is located directly at the prominent north-west corner of the 3rd ring road in Beijing, PRC. This is an important traffic intersection, where broad highways meet elevated fly-overs. The building will be visible from all directions and many levels. Instead of a single volume, which follows the curve of the adjacent roads, we propose breaking the line of the facade and creating a polygonal volume that is juxtaposed to the speed and flow of the highways. That way we achieve distinct elevations and views, where every single one shows the building in a different character and with a specific proportion. The two most outer corners of the TPT are bent slightly inwards to pick up the perspective lines of the adjacent buildings. This move integrates the new volume in the existing context and suggests an embracing gesture, which defines a plaza in front of the building. Overhangs and a subtle undulation of the surface of the plaza strengthen the identity of this newly generated public space.
