Design and architecture

edit

The design concept of Trump Tower Manila showcases a 'peeled' façade that incorporates internal balconies. This architectural feature is strongly defined by the top and bottom corners that peel away. The façade also serves an environmentally responsive function, incorporating light shelves and shading systems to adapt to the building's orientation in relation to the sun's path.[8]
