Shanghai center building 2

Shanghai Tower is located in Lujiazui Financial Center, Shanghai. The building area is 433,954 square meters, with the main building 1 18 floors, building floors 128 floors (ground 1 18 floors, podium 5 floors and basement 5 floors), with a total height of 632 meters and a structural height of 580 meters. In 2008 it was 65438. In addition, there are motor vehicle parking spaces underground, which can park 2,000 cars. Construction cost: 654.38 yuan+04.8 billion yuan. Shanghai Tower will have two glass exterior walls, one inside and the other outside, and the main body will be in the shape of an inner circle and an outer triangle. Figuratively speaking, one tube is covered with another tube. The distance between the glass facades is between 90 cm and 10 m, which provides space for the air hall, acts as an insulation layer similar to a thermos bottle, and reduces the heating and cooling requirements of the whole building. Reducing the energy consumption of skyscrapers is not only beneficial to environmental protection, but also makes this large-scale construction project more economically feasible.

According to the design, you can take the 1 18 ultra-high-speed elevator from B2 floor to the sightseeing floor, and you can reach the "Crown" at the speed of 18 meters per second and 1 more minutes to have a bird's eye view of Shanghai. According to the design,118-19 is an indoor sightseeing space, 12 1 is an outdoor platform sightseeing floor, and 125- 126 is an outdoor platform sightseeing floor. Visitors are expected to stroll along the circular path on the 12 1 floor, get in touch with the breeze at high altitude and feel the top of Shanghai. As a comprehensive super-high-rise building, Shanghai Tower is mainly used for office work, and other formats include exhibitions, hotels, sightseeing, entertainment and commerce. The building is divided into five functional areas, including public business and entertainment area, low-middle-high office area, enterprise club area, boutique hotel area and top-level functional experience space.

The first system is a 90ft× 90ft (about 27m× 27m) reinforced concrete core column, which provides vertical support. The second is a ring "super column" made of steel, which surrounds the reinforced concrete core column and is connected with it through steel bearing brackets. These steel columns are responsible for supporting the building and resisting lateral forces. Finally, every 14 floor adopts two-story strip truss, which surrounds the whole building, and each truss belt marks the beginning of a new area.

Ensure the remarkable benefits of disaster prevention and wind prevention with high-tech giant structures. Every eight floors form a group of independent spaces, which naturally eliminates the wind effect of airflow generated by high-rise buildings on the ground, and ensures the safety and comfort of pedestrians through the division of green planting areas in architectural design. The building surface with an inward inclination of seven degrees increases layer by layer; The high-transparency, energy-saving and heat-insulating curtain wall glass without damage from reflected light allows people to see the sky and the earth in the tallest building in Taiwan Province Province. High-tech materials and creative lighting are transparent and clear, creating a visual penetration effect and integrating with nature and surrounding environment on a large scale.

Fifth place Shanghai World Financial Center

Shanghai World Financial Center is located atNo. century avenue 100, Pudong New Area, Lujiazui, Shanghai, adjacent to the Shanghai Tower which will be completed soon. It is a project centered on Mori Building Company of Japan, with more than 40 enterprises from Japan and the United States as partners, with a total investment of over 654.38+005 billion yen (over 654.38+000 billion US dollars). The original design was 460 meters high, but it was later revised to 492 meters. The project covers an area of 30,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 38 1600 square meters, adjacent to Jinmao Building. Completed on August 29th, 2008. Cost: 7.3 billion RMB.

Shanghai World Financial Center has a total of 104 floors (above ground10/floor and 3 underground floors), of which 94- 100 floors are sightseeing floors. Among them, the bottom of the inverted trapezoid is a 97-story sightseeing overpass, and the top is a 100 story, and a VIP sightseeing pavilion about 55 meters long is set up. Sightseeing facilities are located at the 94th floor to 100 floor of Shanghai World Financial Center. The world's tallest sightseeing hall was born on the 100 floor. The 97th floor is like an overpass floating in the air. The 94th floor, with the panoramic view of the city as the background, provides an exchange space for holding various activities. There are two typhoon dampers on the 90th floor (about 395m) of the building, each weighing150t. The sensor is used to measure the shaking degree of the building when it encounters wind, and the moving direction of the damper is controlled by computer calculation to reduce the shaking of the building caused by strong wind. These two kinds of dampers will also become the highest automatic control dampers in the world at that time. Shanghai World Financial Center is a comprehensive building with office as its main function and integrating business, hotel, sightseeing, conference and other facilities. The 94th to 10 1 floors of the building are sightseeing floors, the 79th to 93rd floors will be built into super five-star hotels, the 7th to 77th floors will be office buildings, the 3rd to 5th floors will be conference rooms, the 2nd to 3rd floors underground will be commercial facilities, and the 3rd to 6th floors underground are planned to have about 1 100 parking spaces.

The design of the world financial center has caused controversy. The original design was 460 meters high and 94 stories high. It was originally expected to be the tallest building in the world when it was completed. Later, due to the Asian financial crisis, the project was suspended for six years until February 2003 13. At that time, its design height had been surpassed by other skyscraper construction plans. After returning to work, the design scheme of the building was revised, adding 32 meters (7 floors). Besides height, there is also shape. William Patterson, president of KPF, said that the design of the financial center was originally inspired by the understanding of "heaven and earth" in China traditional culture, meaning a perfect place. Moreover, the "round hole" with a diameter of 50 meters is the size of the second ball of the "Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower" not far away, and the hollow round hole and the solid ball just form an artistic aesthetic feeling that echoes from afar. But in the eyes of some people, this idea also shows another image. At the earliest, some people used superstition to create momentum on the internet, pointing out that the big round hole on the roof looked too much like the Japanese sun flag from a distance. Because many people in Shanghai and China thought that the original design looked like two Japanese knives with Japanese flags, and the builders were Japanese companies, they put pressure on Shanghai World Financial Center Company, and some even resisted the establishment of the World Financial Center.

The center company immediately updated the design, and the original round hole was changed into a square hole. However, most people who don't hold this view think that this is just a sideline of nationalism. Some people think that the original circular scheme of the building is more beautiful, and the shape is also in line with the simplicity and streamline of one of the aesthetic viewpoints, and it is also more harmonious with the surrounding buildings with spherical design elements, such as the Oriental Pearl, Shanghai International Conference Center and so on. Others apply the traditional concept of "the sky is round" and think that the rectangular design is not bad.
