In Guangzhou, China, it used to be that business, not architecture or design, was the area for innovation. But that?s all in the past. Recently this city, one of China?s biggest commercial centers, set out to tackle its infrastructure and pollution issues. Numerous initiatives, including the addition of a new metro system, have transformed the city into fertile ground for an innovative balance of sustainable architecture and design.

One addition is GDCB tower, designed by architects Gerkan, Marg und Partners (GMP), a progressively green newcomer. This H-shaped commercial high-rise features ceilings and sun control systems by Hunter Douglas and is as friendly to its inhabitants as it is to the environment.
