Global Financial Center

The Global Financial Center is located in the extension of GIFT city, Gandhinagar. The proposed skyscraper would house the headquarters of a bank, insurance company and their respective call centers. 
The project explores an alternative method to approach design; where structural system forms the base of architecture. A parallel design process was followed where massing and structural system was developed simultaneously. An attempt has been made to develop an architectural language through articulation of structural members.
