ping an finance centre (shenzhen): chamfering corners to soften the giant monolith the conflict: [en] erecting a 600-meter-tall square monolith would create four knife-sharp 90-degree vertical edges, casting severe visual oppression ('wall-cleaver sha') onto neighboring towers while generating turbulent vortex eddies. the intervention: kpf chamfered all four sharp vertical corners into smooth, recessed flutes, morphing the square tower into an eight-sided streamlined prism that respects surrounding neighbors. ▪ the outcome: the chamfered flutes eliminated visual hostility while slashing base wind shear by 35% in wind tunnel testing, dramatically reducing sway during south china sea typhoons. hashtags: #fengshui #shenzhen #kpf #architecturelovers #megatall
