Orbit Tower

Designed by Studio Libeskind and GALA Architects, the project is located in Shanghai Lingang Financial Bay East Expansion Area, adjacent to Dishui Lake and the Second Ring Park. It is the highest point of the central financial innovation valley. The Orbit Tower is inspired by the orbital movements of the planets. The unique appearance is achieved by projecting the trajectory lines of different planetary movements on the building massing. The design language aligns with the adjacent buildings, subtly blending with the natural, rhythmic urban texture of the park, creating an organic dialogue with the neighborhood. The smooth orbit curves segment the massing, dividing the facade into areas of various shapes. The rhythm and proportion of the façade are enhanced by articulating the areas between the orbit curves through the fin depth, pattern, and color variation. Under the unified overall shape, the appearance of the façade is enriched with details. It makes the whole building harmonious from a distance and rich in texture from a close view.
