EXPLORING The Shenzhen Institute of Financial Technology Tower by Zaha Hadid Architects

The Shenzhen Institute of Financial Technology is integral to the digital and cross-border payment networks of the People’s Bank of China. A key institution for Shenzhen, the city at the forefront of China’s technological innovation, the institute serves as an incubator and evaluation centre for the financial technologies which ensure Shenzhen’s continued success in developing new digital advancements that drive the global economy.

The Shenzhen Institute of Financial Technology Tower designed by Zaha Hadid Architects will accommodate the institute’s ongoing expansion to serve China’s fintech industry which is anticipated to grow at almost 20% each year throughout the coming decade.

A smart building system will learn to predict the tower’s user patterns and occupancy levels throughout the day. Automated by AI, this system incorporates hybrid natural ventilation and will continually adjust the tower’s services for the optimum comfort of occupants at maximum energy efficiencies. Recycled steel and aggregates procured from local suppliers contribute to reducing the embodied carbon of the tower's structure.
