About the project
«Tao Zhu Yin Yuan» reveals how this world-class sustainable architectural landmark can be integrated in architecture, humanistic spirit and art. After 11 years of construction, Tao Zhu Yin Yuan has transformed from a bold prototype to a sustainable architectural landmark, practicing various technical construction methods from the DNA double helix that constitutes the code of life to the high-level earthquake-proof specifications that can resist the 2,500-year earthquake return cycle. With the addition of excess rainwater recovery, 6 wind power generation and solar panels and other renewable energy equipment, and more than 23 000 trees and shrubs that can absorb carbon, it is a vertical forest art building. From the perspective of protecting people and the environment, this building has driven the construction industry to incorporate energy-saving, carbon-reducing and carbon-absorbing thinking, and reversed the climate crisis.
