动工四年后，Steven Holl Architects在中国成都的中心完成Sliced Porosity Block。没有被设计为标志性的摩天大厦建筑，三百万平方英尺的大楼本身作为城市公共空间的大广场和不同功能的混合。五塔以提供提供办公室，酒店式公寓，零售，酒店，咖啡馆，餐厅刺激一个微型都市的形成。
Steven Holl将这些环境态艺术大楼描述为“阳光塑造的诗意形态”。所需满足的最少阳光量照射在周围城市建筑的几何形态装饰的外墙上。白色的混凝土建筑与六英尺高的开口组合，玻璃制的开口剖切面符合地震要求。
大型公共空间框架在街区的中心形成三谷的灵感来自于一个城市最伟大诗人Du Fu (713-770)的一首诗，“支离东北风尘际, 漂泊西南天地间，三峡楼台淹日月, 五溪衣服共云山”。

Four years after breaking ground, Steven Holl Architects have completed the Sliced Porosity Block in the heart of Chengdu, China. Rather than being designed as object-icon skyscrapers, the three million square foot complex identifies itself as a metropolitan public space with large plazas and a hybrid of different functions. The five towers stimulate a micro urbanism by offering offices, serviced apartments, retail, a hotel, cafes, and restaurants.
Steven Holl describes these environmentally state of the art skyscrapers as “a poetic form shaped by sunlight.” The required minimum sunlight exposures to the surrounding urban fabric prescribe precise geometric angles that slice the exoskeletal concrete frame of the building. The white concrete structure is organized in six foot high openings with earthquake diagonals as required while the “sliced” sections are glass.
The large public space framed in the center of the block is formed into three valleys inspired by a poem of the city’s greatest poet, Du Fu (713-770), who wrote, ‘From the northeast storm-tossed to the southwest, time has left stranded in Three Valleys.’ The three plaza levels feature water gardens based on concepts of time – the Fountain of the Chinese Calendar Year, Fountain of Twelve Months, and Fountain of Thirty Days. These three ponds function as skylights to the six-story shopping precinct below.
Establishing human scale in this metropolitan rectangle is achieved through the concept of “micro urbanism,” with double-fronted shops open to the street as well as the shopping center. Three large openings are sculpted into the mass of the towers as the sites of the pavilion of history, designed by Steven Holl Architects, the Light Pavilion by Lebbeus Woods, and the Local Art Pavilion by Chinese sculptor Han Meilin.
The Sliced Porosity Block is heated and cooled with 468 geothermal wells and the large ponds in the plaza harvest recycled rainwater, while the natural grasses and lily pads create a natural cooling effect. High performance glazing, energy-efficient equipment and the use of regional materials are among the other methods employed to reach the LEED Gold rating.
