Upper Air Miracle: Pure Sound On Top Of PAFC

PAFC has always insisted on a benign interaction among building, humanity and society, exploring infinite possibilities and wishing to bring urban dwellers a pure and nice living experience. Nexus team, in the meantime, has been trying to break through the limit of imagination using innovative technology, creating miracles around the world. The two parties happened to share the same view just as their cooperation began.

According to Nexus, the creation of the "wind music" was inspired by their pursuit of natural art and the amazing building that connected sky, earth and people. They hoped to baptize annoying feelings of city residents in the purity of voice.

The installation consists of different steel tubes specially made to collect wind sounds of different direction and strength 600 meters above the ground. Dozens of hours of recording with the background sound over the city eventually produced a piece of miraculous music.

Sounds Of Nature: PAFC Concert of the Wind

PAFC also invited Ms. Wang Cong, an outstanding young artist crowned by the United Nations, to process the recordings of wind sounds and add beauty to it.

Etienne Schwarcz, a composer and also the lighting director of the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics, will be present to complement the show with splendid lighting design and gorgeous videos, demonstrating the glamour of PAFC to the world.

Urban Miracle: Charming PAFC

As a world-class landmark skyscraper, the 600-meter-high, 118-storey PAFC has an overall floorage of 459,200 square meters. The project focuses on an international first rate office building, which will be put into service in the second half of 2016 and hopefully ease the city's intense demand. In addition, a high-end shopping mall, a skyline sightseeing floor and a Park Hyatt hotel will also be incorporated in the project to forge an upstage commercial service platform.

PAFC Shenzhen, as a new landmark building in the city and even the whole world, will proudly stand out with powerful Chinese elements among skyscrapers across the globe, and play an even more positive role in economic development and urban layout.
