"We began the entire design process by understanding the cultural, economic and geo-climatic context of the Bandung area… In order to tap into the visitors of this great city, and profile of the expected client base, the hotel was to deliberate internationally in spirit and be localized in design touches. High modernism fused with local traditional craft."

Asymptote Architecture Announces the Design of Penang Global City Center (PGCC), an Expansive, Sustainable, Mixed-Use Development with Two Iconic Sixty-Story Towers.
The design achieves its elegance and stature through the simultaneous embrace of natural landscapes and contemporary urbanism.
The forms of the two towers are comprised of both horizontal and vertical elements: sculpted horizontal components move across the plinth, rise up and transform into articulated vertical structures. Set against the backdrop of the nature reserve of Penang Hill, the twisting, glass façades of the towers “perform” various surface effects—reflecting, refracting and distorting views of Penang, the surrounding landscape and the seascape beyond.Asymptote: Hani Rashid + Lise Anne Couture

"It is obvious that the definition of a sustainable tower is difficult to sum up in a few sentences, but the various perspectives on the following pages indicate a few common points that can begin to define a design brief. The National Sustainable Tower Blocks Initiative helps to understand what is socially sustainable, which is implied in design factors of the others who are mentioned. "

"In attempting to measure architecture at SCDA, we realise quickly that the units of measurement remain difficult to grasp in its vastly changing forms. Still we offer in measures a modest sense of the elements we consider fundamental in the making of architecture: light, space, structure, transparency and texture. With this schema of cause-and-effect, we attempt to measure architecture."SCDA architects

"WOHA's strategy is to study the various desire lines on the site. Through negotiating the conflicting requirements of site, climate, technologies, developer, authorities, end-users and consultants, a diagram is produced that incorporates all these forces."WOHA architects

"It's about living in the tropics, which is a mild climate when shelter was basically about protection from the elements and the inducement of natural light and ventilation."Sonny Chan
