Jin Tower
Jin Tower is a super high-rise building with an all-steel structure. Its exterior design incorporates traditional Chinese elements, taking on the shape of a sail — with a slightly smaller base, a slightly wider middle section, and gradually tapering upper floors. The external glass curtain wall features a vertically pleated, origami-like design, giving the otherwise massive structure a remarkably light and graceful appearance.
Jin Tower is not only a landmark office building in Tianjin, but also the tallest building north of the Yangtze River in China, ranking 26th in the world. In 2011, the building was awarded the California Structural Design Award in the United States.
