2017 Dubin Family Young Architect Award 10 Wuhan Greenland Center, Wuhan, China
Wuhan Greenland Center is a 125-level, 600+ meter mixed- use tower that includes offices, apartments, and 5-star hotel. Anthony led the design of the tower collaborating with wind and structural engineers in an integrated parametric approach that looked at the formal design of the tower along with programmatic concerns, wind performance, structural optimization, as well as the interconnectedness of those variables. The building’s iconic aerodynamic features, such as the overall tapering of the tower, the rounding and separation of the top, and a series of wind relief notches increase structural efficiency, reducing material—and cost—and associated embodied carbon, used for construction.

FKI Tower is a 50-story office building and conference center completed in 2014 that is located across from Yeoido Park in Seoul. Anthony was the lead designer for the sculptural podium building, which contains public amenities such as a banquet hall, a restaurant, and a conference center. During the design of the podium Anthony worked on the form with advanced modeling of the double-curved shell and the integration of the interior pro- gram elements. This required an integration of building services and considerations for fabrication. Anthony worked further with the team on the development and geometric optimization of the double-curved façade.

“Anthony led the team in the development and shaping of the sculptural podium piece. The resulting form is in direct response to the site conditions and the programmatic elements. He was able to translate and simplify a complex shape while maintaining the beautiful aesthetic that we originally designed”

Completed in 2017, the EXPO-2017 is a mega-project that includes 49 buildings which embrace the expo’s theme of “Future Energy.” Anthony led the team on the centerpiece of the exposition, an 80 meter diameter sphere with 20,000 sm of exhibition space on eight levels. The building incorporates and augments active power generation technologies such as solar power and wind turbines while employing passive strategies such as high-performance materials and the use of atria as thermal “lungs.” Anthony was responsible for developing advanced VR simulations of the interior and exterior environments of the building, improving the vision of the building and advancing the project’s tight timeline. The sphere is an icon and a driver for the integration of environmental performance across the Expo site and the city of Astana.

“Anthony led the Astana Expo Kazakhstan Pavilion design team. Innovation was required to design a spherical building that performed well in local climatic conditions and generated renewable energy using integrated wind turbines. Anthony not only led the parametric modeling but also shared this knowledge with junior team members who, by mid-way through the project, were able to create advanced VR simulations of the interior and exterior environments of the building.”
