Designed by SOM for construction equipment manufacturing company Sany, the dual-tower Sany Guangzhou Pazhou Rootcloud Headquarters in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, features a striking exterior design highlighted by five-story steel columns rising in a diamond grid pattern. The structural design allows the floors to be suspended from the structure, eliminating the need for interior columns. Photo: Dave Burk, courtesy SOM
