Daniel Libeskind presents one his latest projects known as the Century Spire, a mixed use development in the city south-east of Manila. It is a remarkable addition to the Makati skyline and solidifies Century City as one of the most luxurious districts in the Philippines.
The peak of the building will be broken into three sections, which the architect defines as a crown. The Century Spire accommodates offices and apartments in Century City. The architect declared that “the project would make a bold and optimistic statement about the future of the Philippines”. All four facades will feature semi-reflective glazing, while the base of the building will taper inwards to make room for a landscaped entrance plaza”. Daniel Libeskind’s design emerges another aesthetic to century city.
