CITIC Tower will
be the flagship building of Beijing’s comprehensively planned 30-hectare
central business district core.
The Tower’s gently rising and curving form resembles an
ancient Chinese ceremonial vessel, called the “zun.” The design concept is
that of a transforming shell that gradually bends to create a dramatic form.
This concept is also applied to other key elements of the tower, including
the entrances, ground-floor lobby, and observation deck.
