The architectural concept of the Landmark Buildings in the master plan is inspired by the poetic movement of a butterfly in flight—a metaphor for elegance, transformation, and continuity. This inspiration is expressed through a fluid sequence of forms shaping the façades, creating a dynamic rhythm that runs throughout the entire development.
The sinuous geometry echoes the delicate arcs of a butterfly's wings in motion, allowing each building to assert its unique character while maintaining a cohesive identity with the surrounding structures. This balance between form and function enriches the visual experience and reinforces the design narrative, rooted in movement, lightness, and connection.
Each side of the Landmark Buildings presents a different scenography, shaped by the interplay between architectural elements and the surrounding environment. Just as a butterfly’s dance shifts in nature and direction, the architectural expression evolvesproducing façades that appear to move and transform along the urban fabric.
These variations give rise to a vibrant and engaging environment, where iconic forms become defining landmarks within the master plan. The result is a series of sculptural buildings that express harmony through contrast, offering a presence that is both striking and refined in the urban context.
