Empire 88 Tower – Ole Scheeren unveils plans for a spectacular ‘sky forest’ in Vietnam

The architect behind some of Asia’s most recognizable buildings has unveiled plans for a new skyscraper that he hopes will change the face of Vietnam’s largest city. Featuring an observation deck and an urban garden hundreds of feet above the ground, Ole Scheeren’s latest project will be built in central Ho Chi Minh City. CNN has been given an exclusive first look at the project.

Named Empire City, the complex forms part of a new development that could transform the once impoverished District 2. At 1093 feet (333 meters), the largest of the three towers, Empire 88 Tower, will become one of Vietnam’s tallest buildings upon completion.

But while the structure is likely to stand out from its urban surroundings, it was inspired by Vietnam’s geography, Scheeren said. The German architect explained that his design is intended to blend in with its tropical environment.

“We want to make the earth touch the sky and vice versa — to mirror (the) nature on the ground into the sky and create a very lyrical moment for the building,” he said in a phone interview. “We’re looking at developing a very intense network of public spaces — on the ground, via the podium, but also lifting part of this urban energy up into the sky.

“(The height) is not that important in itself. But as focal point for this new city I think it can play a very important role. The idea is to not make it a marker (or) a silhouette on the skyline, but really to create a place for people to go.”

A ‘garden’ skyscraper

Located on a peninsula in the Saigon River, Empire City will comprise residential, commercial and public spaces. Current plans also envisage a hotel and co-working spaces, as well as outdoor areas for exercising and socializing.

One of the design’s most eye-catching features, the so-called “Sky Forest,” is an urban garden protruding from the building’s upper reaches. The building’s podium — a base from which its three towers emerge — is expected to host water features and an abundance of plant life.

“If you look at Vietnam’s nature it’s really incredible,” Scheeren said. “It has the power of the tropics that I’ve loved for a long time. I believe that there’s a real opportunity to look at ways in which nature, as living space, can come back into architecture — where ‘green’ is not merely a sense of alibi or a discussion of sustainability, but where it’s really about … the quality of living that we can generate.”

The building joins a growing list of high-profile “green” projects being announced in Asia, such as Italian architect Stefano Boeri’s pollution-eating “Forest City” in southern China. While accepting that the trend is growing, Scheeren said that it’s not just a matter of fashion.

“When architecture falls for fashion then, in most cases, it becomes problematic,” he said. “But I think that this is a very pertinent and important topic for us: How we bring the density of the city back to (being) a more liveable environment.

“In that sense, there are certainly some fashionably ‘gimmicky’ projects that have dealt with (urban gardens) and I don’t think there’s a lot of future in those. But there are a series of serious attempts to investigate the possibility for this to be a new model. And that’s really what we’re after.”

Vietnam’s ‘incredible energy’

Having worked in Asia for the last two decades, Scheeren has been responsible for a number of the continent’s best-known buildings. As a partner and director of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), he designed landmarks such as Beijing’s CCTV Headquarters before launching his own firm.

Since founding Büro Ole Scheeren in 2010, the 46-year-old has completed the MahaNakhon, which became Thailand’s tallest building upon opening last year, and the Interlace in Singapore, which was named World Building of the Year in 2015. But Empire City marks his first project in Vietnam, a country that he described as having an “incredible energy.”

Is this the world’s craziest new skyscraper?

“There’s an expectation to create new meaning in (Vietnam’s) own context — to look at the growing city as more than a purely economic opportunity,” he said of the country’s current architectural climate. “(Economics) is certainly part of it, but really there’s an ambition to create meaningful places for the city’s people, and to create a new identity that can be an arch between their past and their future.

“I don’t have this sense of letting go or parting so much, when I design a building,” says Scheeren. “I never design it for myself to begin with. I design it for the people that will ultimately own it, or inhabit it or work in it, or live in it.” Credit: Iwan Baan

“On a grassroots level, you see an incredible entrepreneurial spirit in the county — a big start-up culture and even a big co-working culture. All the stuff that we’re discussing in the Western world actually thrives intensely in Ho Chin Minh City. I think there’s a really great momentum to join, and to see how, through architecture, we can make a contribution.”

Büro Ole Scheeren Designs Trio of terraced towers For Empire City, Vietnam

The development in Ho Chi Minh City marks the architect’s first project in the country. Common etymological explanations connect the word to “firewood,” “kapok” (a local tree), and “forest.”

The development in Ho Chi Minh City marks the architect’s first project in the country. Common etymological explanations connect the word to “firewood,” “kapok” (a local tree), and “forest.”  It makes perfect sense, then, that German-born architect Ole Scheeren would turn to nature when designing his first project in the region. His office Büro Ole Scheeren unveiled a proposal for a cluster of three mixed-use towers in Ho Chi Minh City which, when completed, will hover over the city like a forest canopy.
Located in a crook of land created by the sinuous Saigon River, the development called Empire City will sprout from a terraced, landscaped podium. This verdant platform, tiered to evoke the area’s rice paddies, will form as a public garden and house flexible co-working spaces.
The tallest of the towers will rise more than 1,000 feet above the city, housing a hotel, apartments, and an observation deck. Three-quarters of the way up this 88-story skyscraper, Scheeren’s office placed a cloud-shaped stack. Called the “Sky Forest,” this floating series of garden terraces will serve as a “gesture of reconciliation between the city and the countryside,” according to the firm.
The two other shorter towers, meanwhile, will comprise a mix of office and residential space.
The Vietnam project marks Scheeren’s first project in the country. This project is one of a forest of towers Scheeren is designing across Europe and Asia, including a riverside high-rise in Frankfurt (announced this fall), in addition to towers in Thailand, China, and Singapore.
Continuing the garden-theme, German-born architect Ole Scheeren, famous for designing the CTBUH-award winning CCTV building in Beijing, has created a multi-level platform in the middle of the tower that will play host to the “sky forest”, an inside/outside garden inspired by Vietnam‘s famous terraced rice fields.

Empire 88 Tower – A forest canopy

Empire 88 Tower resides in the Empire City Project, a spectacular ensemble of high-rise towers and public spaces. It is set to become a new focal point of Ho Chi Minh City, sculpting a symbiotic vision of nature and living within the space of the city.

Situated on the central peninsula of the Saigon River, the project will generate an integrative environment that fuses natural landscape with the rapidly growing metropolis. As a result, new qualities of urban living will emerge in this mixed-use environment of work, life, culture, entertainment and public enjoyment.
Three skyscrapers will soar above a mountain-shaped, garden-like podium, with the central tower reaching a height of 333 meters. Its 88 floors will encompass residences, apartments, a hotel and a public observation deck. Breaking open the shaft of the tower and projecting vertical gardens at towering heights, the expressively undulating platforms of the “Sky Forest” will elevate the podium’s urban landscape into the sky. Hovering terraces will cantilever in manifold directions around the tower’s central axis, reaching out into the urban context and the peninsula’s natural surroundings as a gesture of reconciliation between the city and the countryside.
The Sky Forest, with its alluring interplay of interior and exterior, will create a magical journey through Vietnam’s tropical landscape. Densely populated with a variety of local plant species and water features, the multi-level experience will give breathtaking views across Ho Chi Minh City and the Saigon River, accessible to the tower’s residents and the public alike.
At the very top of the highest tower, the “Cloud Space” will complete the vertical journey and stage a public arena with flexible possibilities for events and recreational activities, celebrating the glistening views of the bustling metropolis.
The podium will echo Vietnam’s mesmerizing landscape, with its poetic soft hills and cultivated terraced rice fields, and will anchor the tower ensemble to the ground. A variety of layered, open spaces engage the public in a multitude of experiences throughout this grand urban garden. An extensive network of public activities will be threaded throughout the modulated structure, connecting commercial areas with recreational environments. Custom-designed co-working spaces will be integrated into multiple floors of this terraced foundation and engage the collaborative spirit of Ho Chi Minh City’s vibrant startup culture.
In addition to the soaring landmark tower, two accompanying high-rises will comprise more traditional office typologies and residential spaces atop the landscape podium.
