Maldive's render of the South East from SSP




Here is the context for the updated rendering:

Aura is always rendered looking northwest, however since the tower portion remains basically the same through 3 re-designs (with the exception of more of the curved glass on this latest version)... I believe the tower is even better looking than this one POV suggests.

What makes the design particularly interesting is the way the west facade spirals up to the east facade (the 2 little adjusted thumbs below show what's happening).

I did a quicky sketch to try and interpret the view looking north east. If they add the extra 10 floors pushing Aura around the 280 metre mark... it will surely be one of the most iconic buildings ever constructed in the country (particularly give the reports of very expensive curtainwall).
