Creating a metropolitan public space instead of object-icon sky scrapers, this three million squar f oot project takes its shape f rom its distribution of natural light. The required minimum sunlight exposures to the surrounding urban f abric prescribe precise geometric angles that slice the exoskeletal concrete f rame of the structure. The building structure is white concrete organized in six f oot high openings with earthquake diagonals as required while the "sliced" sections are glass. The large public space f ramed in the center of the block is f ormed into three v alley s inspired by a poem of the city 's greatest poet, Du Fu (713-770), who wrote, 'From the northeast storm-tossed to the southwest, time has lef t stranded in Three Valley s.' The three plaza lev els f eature water gardens based on concepts of time-the Fountain of the Chinese Calendar Y ear, Fountain of Twelv e Months, and Fountain of Thirty Day s. These three ponds f unction as sky lights to the six-story shopping precinct below.

Establishing human scale in this metropolitan rectangle is achiev ed through the concept of "micro urbanism," with double-f ronted shops open to the street as well as the shopping center. Three large openings are sculpted into the mass of the towers as the sites of the pav ilion of history , designed by Stev en Holl Architects, the Light Pav ilion by Lebbeus Woods, and the Local Art Pav ilion by Chinese sculptor Han Meilin. The Sliced Porosity Block is heated and cooled with 468 geothermal wells and the large ponds in the plaza harv est recy cled rainwater, while the natural grasses and lily pads create a natural cooling ef f ect. High-perf ormance glazing, energy -ef f icient equipment and the use of regional materials are among the other methods employ ed to reach the LEED Gold rating.
