在18世紀，馬來西亞海港檳城的香料吸引了商人和海盜，現在馬來西亞政府希望在這裡建造21世紀的先鋒建築和豪華旅遊勝地，重新吸引國際投資者和旅遊者來到這個島嶼。為了實現這個目標，檳城市政府選定「漸近線建築事務所」（Asymptote Architecture）設計一個投資70億美元，佔地256英畝的綜合設施。這個綜合設施名叫「檳城環球城中心 | PENANG GLOBAL CITY CENTER」 (後簡稱為 PGCC)。

總部設在紐約的「漸近線建築事務所」（Asymptote Architecture）的負責人Hani Rashid，在9月份宣佈了總樓地板面積約90萬平方米的「檳城環球城中心」設計案。

該設計案呈「雙曲線形狀」，60層高鋼構和玻璃帷幕大樓從一個舞台形的底座指向天空。大樓內將安排豪華居住單位和五星級的旅館。底座將安排包括零售商店的公共廣場、一個表演藝術中心和一個會議中心。

Hani Rashid 說：「我們的設計將會是歷史和文化與當代的流行風格完美的結合。『漸近線建築事務所』吸引了檳城的中國、印度和阿拉伯的文化遺產，從阿拉伯的圖案獲得靈感。我們設計的建築顯示了亞洲神話形象和伊斯蘭的尖塔。」

但「檳城環球城中心」還有高技術特性和環境友善，目標是實現「零碳排放量」。一個中央機械系統將是熱電冷三聯產系統，包括風力發電裝置和光電裝置。

檳城市政府預期這個工程在2008年開始建設，在2012年完成。但工程的總體規劃受到批評。反對者說，「檳城環球城中心」不能提供足夠的平價住宅空間，並且將造成交通擁擠。

PGCC_Design Concept 設計概念

Asymptote’s design for the PGCC complex is centered on the idea of creating a new and powerful image for the city of Penang and the new initatives associated with the development of the Northern Corridor of Malaysia. The design achieves its elegance and stature through the simultaneous embrace of natural landscapes and contemporary urbanism. The PGCC will become a vital new precinct that complements and enhances the unique characteristics that typify Penang as a remarkable island metropolis. The design of the iconic towers in particular draws inspiration from not only the lushness and drama of the surrounding mountains and seascapes, but also from the rich and diverse cultural heritage that makes up the Malaysian nation and Penang in particular.

The forms of the two towers are comprised of both horizontal and vertical elements: sculpted horizontal components move across the plinth, rise up and transform into articulated vertical structures. Set against the backdrop of the nature reserve of Penang Hill, the twisting, glass façades of the towers 「perform」 various surface effects—reflecting, refracting and distorting views of Penang, the surrounding landscape and the seascape beyond. The vast, cascading plinth, which functions as a public plaza with multiple gathering spaces, are venues for the performing arts center, convention center and various facilities for residential, office and urban life.

PGCC_Program 各部使用

The PGCC project is remarkable for its monumental proportions and programmatic diversity as well as its innovative design. The main components of the program include:

Retail Complex: 400,000 sq. m.
Convention Center: 100,000 sq. m.
Penang Performing Arts Center (PenPAC): 75,000 sq. m.
Condominiums: 70,000 sq. m.
Hotel and Service Apartments: 50,000 sq. m.
Offices: 25,000 sq. m.
Observatory: 1,500 sq. m.
Parking: 190,000 sq. m.

Many aspects of the PGCC incorporate the latest in sustainable design and engineering technologies including building-integrated wind turbines; high-performance façade engineering and design with integrated, thin-film photovoltaics; high-efficiency central mechanical systems utilizing trigeneration; comprehensive storm water management and water recycling. The incorporation of these site-wide strategies into Asymptote’s design represents the highest commitment to the creation of energy-efficient and environmentally conscious architecture.
