based on the idea of convergence, the wison group headquarters designed by AS architecture-studio is organized around a central atrium, shaped like a blooming flower. located in zhangjiang, shanghai, the building is comprised of five wings with seven to ten stories of office space, focusing on high-levels of interaction between them. these façades are composed of dark glass panels and red louvers, while the main building is made of printed white glass, joining both chinese colors and the company’s together. the organic layout of the massing and landscape is influenced by local culture and urban integration principles. a fountain facing the main entrance protects the main access, energizing the building according to fengshui principles. a transition between the city and corporate world is articulated through water pounds, the existing river and the surrounding green banks.
