China’s Lunar Tower Exterior Facade

The Lunar Veil: Eco-Conscious Aluminum Cladding This image captures the ethereal exterior of China’s Lunar Tower, a sentinel rising from the Dongzhai Harbor Mangrove Reserve. The tower’s defining feature is its low-reflective, perforated aluminum skin, precision-engineered to minimize light pollution and protect local migratory birds from glare. The facade’s intricate perforation pattern is algorithmically generated to mimic the organic density of mangrove leaves, creating a "breathing" building envelope. This porous metal screen filters harsh tropical sunlight, reducing solar heat gain while allowing coastal breezes to naturally ventilate the central spiral staircase. Visually, the matte white aluminum dematerializes the tower's mass, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the misty wetland horizon like a rising moon.
