Summary
MAD Architects has completed the Tengyun Center in Shenzhen, a major addition to Tencent's headquarters campus. The complex features three interconnected curved glazed volumes (described as "cloud buildings") alongside two office towers, totaling 72,000 square meters. The design incorporates landscaped terraces, green spaces, and a central courtyard, with the cloud-like forms intended to create a more human-centric and nature-integrated workplace environment for the tech giant's campus spanning 80 hectares across Qianhai and Da Chan Bay.
