Global engineering and design firm Atkins just revealed designs for Window of Guangzhou, a dramatic three-volume development that will become the new architectural icon for the southern Chinese port city. Set along the Pearl River, the new commercial development comprises a 680-foot-high tower and two window-shaped buildings that symbolize the city’s openness to global commerce. Described as an “unusual” design by Atkins, the buildings spell “001″ in reference to Guangzhou’s position as the first city in China to open to international trade.
