About Guangzhou Circle
Guangzhou Circle is a landmark tower in Guangzhou, in China's Guangdong province. Both the Guangdong Plastic Exchange and the Hongda Xingye Group are based there. The exchange trades more raw plastic than any other center, with annual turnover above €25 billion in 2012. Italian architect Joseph di Pasquale designed it.
It rises 138 m (453 ft) and has 33 stories, with 85,000 square meters (910,000 sq ft) of floor area. Chinese logographic writing inspired the design, and other meanings are linked to jade discs and fengshui. The double jade bi-disc, an ancient royal symbol, is reflected in the water of the Pearl River, and the form also suggests infinity and the numeral 8.
The two circular facades hold groups of suspended stories that square the facades' circumference to make the interior space orthogonal. The design also refers to the Renaissance idea of squaring the circle. The central core is open and has no glass, leaving an open circle with a diameter of almost 59 m (194 ft). The site lies beside the Pearl River, on the south west edge of the city.
