« The second tallest building in the world is located in Tianjin, China »
"This spiral-shaped skyscraper to be inaugurated this summer. It will peak at 632 meters, 198 meters below the Burk Khalifa Dubai.Ce will be the tallest building in China (632 m) and the second . high in the world after the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai (828 m) The first occupants of the Shanghai Tower, which combines offices and apartments, will move this summer SelonLe Figaro, the operation will be done in two stages. This will First, employees of businesses who rent offices in the tower will be installed. By themselves, they occupy 573,000 m2 (enough to accommodate more than 25,000 employees). Then follow the housing, experts involved in the project out any official announcement. Located in the heart of the business district of the city, the building will also include a hotel in the 110th floor.
"The symbol of looking to the future of the Chinese people"
200 meters smaller than its big sister the Burj Khalifa, the Tower of Shanghai was conducted by the same architect, the American Marshall Strabala. But this skyscraper, provided with a jacket, wants above all to be "an icon, a symbol of looking to the future of the Chinese people," according to Grant Uhlir, head of the expert and director of Gensler firm American architects chosen for the project.
Certainly accustomed to superlatives, the building at a cost of $ 2.4 billion also intends to have the fastest elevator in the world. From the ground, we can reach the top in 35 seconds only. Either breakneck speed of 18 meters per second.
When the wind will blow strongly, the removable structure of the tower will enable it also to pitch of a meter at the top. Finally, note that there is no 4th floor, the number 4 in Chinese being the namesake of "death." Ultimate exorcism, perhaps, its spiral shape is not without reminding the DNA ... the essence of life. A race to the sky. Globalization and spatiotemporal distribution of skyscraper construction gratte- ciel.La springs has both functional and symbolic. The skyscrapers are defined locally, nationally but also globally. Analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution of skyscraper construction highlights their strong links with economic and ideological contexts and highlights some extent convergence of lifestyles of the world population. "We are building at a height that will rival the Tower of Babel."
William Le Baron Jenney, 1883 (quoted by Judith Dupré, 2005). "The signs are exposed in a material, shape and plastic that have a dual function of use and representation."
Armand Frémont, 1976. The debate on the tower construction is recurrent in European capitals. If London has embarked on the race skyscrapers with recent constructions Deone Canada Square (1991, 235 m), the highest habitable building in Britain, located in Canary Wharf and duSwiss Re Building (2004, 180 m) in the City, most other European capitals seem lagging, though some cities such as Vienna or Frankfurt figure are precursors (Karolyi, 2007). In the French capital, the reluctance to build towers are still strong, and in the heart of Paris Montparnasse Tower (1972, 210 m) like the Tower Zamansky (1970, 90 m) are finally well isolated in the central districts, while in some peripheral districts flourished few bouquets of laps today criticized, such as the Front de Seine (16 rounds of 96 m in the 15earrondissement), those of the Olympic district and the Massena district (13th) and finally Organs Flanders and the Tour of Flanders in the district of La Villette (19). A few kilometers outside the walls of the capital, the Defence business district bristling towers higher and higher, while the oldest are "regenerated" with the stated intention of attracting investors and foreign developers (Paquot, 2007). Seen immediately, it is mainly the business districts, the City and Canary Wharf, Defense, which are Bankenviertel Frankfurt skyscrapers neighborhoods. The link between these buildings and the economic and financial spheres therefore seems essential. Indeed, the real estate sector dynamics is strongly correlated to national and global economic conditions. This is especially true for high-rise buildings whose construction is particularly expensive and highly dependent on the investment capacity available. However, there are other springs in the construction of these impressive buildings, which are equally or more important. The skyscrapers are, in fact, emblems of a company, a city, or even a country. These are signals that are sent on the world stage with specific goals. "A race to the sky."
