| 摘要： | Over the last few decades, the Republic of Azerbaijan has seen its capital city of Baku transform into a modern metropolis defined by an ever-changing skyline that features some of the most eye-catching architecture in the world. The recently completed Ministry of Taxation Tower, with its signature form of stacked cubes suspended from a circular central core, is the latest addition to the growing number of the city's landmarks. Commissioned by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Economy, the 168 m, 32-story-tall tower comprises approximately 30,000 sq m of commercial office space. The building's futuristic design and location within a high seismic zone created several challenges for the development team, which included FXCollaborative as the design architect, Tekfen Construction as the design-build contractor, and Thornton Tomasetti as the structural designer. Thornton Tomasetti was retained by Tekfen to provide structural engineering and construction services from the design phase and throughout the construction period. |
