Performative Approaches in Tall Buildings: Pearl River Tower
Abstract
21st century has become prominent with two main concepts in architecture; the first one is
“sustainability in architecture” which has been seeking for a less environmental footprint
in the ecosystem and the second one is digital technologies that drive a novel approach in
all kinds of man-made products including architecture. Potentials of digital solutions
(CAD/CAM/BIM) in the design of "energy efficient" buildings can be considered as
innovative way of thinking/designing/simulating/optimizing for the actors working in all
levels of discipline of architecture. In other words, integration of these tools with the
design process offers designers many alternatives through the analysis of both climatic
and physical data usage during the optimization process of architectural forms and
structures, especially, designing unique/extreme buildings like, tall buildings, wide span
structures and buildings having complex forms. From this context, this paper discusses
and exemplifies the term "performative architecture" as a melting point of the concepts
mentioned above. It is aimed to present and discuss how cutting edge technologies help
designers to design not only the building but also the “design of design process” in a
sustainable way. For this purpose, tall buildings are examined within the light of
performative approach. After presenting the theoretical framework of the concept of
performative design; Pearl River Tower, (Guangzhou, China) an energy efficient tall
building, in which digital design and optimization tools are integrated with the design
process, is exemplified and the criteria of performance based design used in the case study
is discussed.
