4 .The Shanghai Tower
The
Shanghai Tower is a supertall skyscraper under construction in the Pudong
district of Shanghai, China. Designed by Gensler, it will be the tallest of a
group of three supertall buildings in Pudong, the other two being the Jin Mao
Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center. Upon its completion in 2014, the
building will stand approximately 632 metres (2,073 ft) high and will have 121
stories, with a total floor area of 380,000 m2 (4,090,000 sq ft).
At the time of its completion, the Shanghai Tower will be the
tallest building in China, and the second-tallest in the world, surpassed only
by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It will also become China's tallest structure of
any kind, surpassing the 600-metre (2,000 ft) Canton Tower in Guangzhou.
However, in February 2012, it was reported that another Chinese skyscraper, the
Wuhan Greenland Financial Center, might be redesigned to reach a height of 636
metres (2,087 ft), thus exceeding the height of the Shanghai Tower.
5. Marina 101 ( Height: To Tip : 425 m / 1,394 )
The design of the structure fully embraces a
wide range of aesthetic influences. Rather than just building straight towards
the sky, Marina 101’s architects added numerous visual elements to perforate
and diffuse the building’s exterior. Flared projections acting as light dishes
break the vertical monotony of the supertall tower as it rises, culminating in
a 45-meter crown that caps the building and sets it apart in the surrounding
skyline. The façade consists of a granite base, two-tone aluminum cladding along
the height of the tower, and double glazing to reduce heat again. At night the
subtly lit crown will be clearly visible from the Dubai airport. It will
consist of sky blue aluminum panels converging to a dramatic four-point
pinnacle.
Within the tower, the vertical transportation system consists of a total
of 28 elevators, ranging from low-speed service elevators to high-speed
high-rise elevators. The six basements and the tower sit on a four-meter-thick
raft foundation supported by 280 friction grip piles, ranging from 80
centimeters to 150 centimeters in diameter. The forest of piles, gripped by the
surrounding strata, will ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
