Each of the skybridges is focused on a specific theme-the “Knowledge” floor comprises conference rooms and libraries, while the “Health” bridge houses a recreational area with basketball courts and swimming pools.
The towers boast state-of-the-art sustainable mechanisms and take advantage of its orientation. Slightly rotated, the buildings can capture the prevailing winds and naturally ventilate the atria. The façade incorporated a modular shading system responsive to different sun exposure. The entire development is planned to reduce carbon emissions by 40 per cent compared to a typical office tower.
