The Phoenix Towers (Chinese: 凤凰塔; pinyin: Fènghuángtǎ) are proposed supertall skyscrapers planned for construction in Wuhan, China.
At 1 kilometre (3,300 ft) high, the towers will be the tallest structure in the world when completed. The towers are being designed by Chetwoods Architects.[2][3] Completion is planned for 2018 at a cost of GB£1.2 billion.[1]
The Phoenix Towers are being designed by London-based Chetwoods Architects in partnership with HuaYan Group.[4][5] The project will consist of two buildings, representing the male and female dualistic aspects of Chinese culture. The taller tower, Feng will have about 100 floors for residential living, offices and retail space. The slightly smaller Huang tower will contain "the World's tallest garden".[1] The towers will be constructed on an island in a lake, covering a 7-hectare (17-acre) site.[6][7][8]
The buildings will be constructed on a steel superstructure with concrete cores and buttresses. The exterior will be covered in photovoltaic panels.[7]
The towers will incorporate green energy technologies including wind, solar, thermal, biomass boilers and hydrogen fuel cells.[4][5]
