Shanghai Tower Case Study
-LEED Platinum Winner.
-The world's highest observation deck in a architectural structure.
-The World's second fastest elevators, at a Maximum speed of 20.5 meters/second.
-The world's second tallest building to architectural top, by height.
-"With these gardens, we don't have to go down to street level,You can grab a cup of coffee and walk among the trees in the sky."
Says one of the enrolled architects of this masterpiece.

Introduction
Project ID
Name: Shanghai Tower
Location: Shanghai, China
Architect: Gensler
Category: Skyscrapers
Project Year: 2015
Height: 632 m
Floor count: 121
Floor area: 380,000 m2
Cost: 2.2 Billion Dollars
Occupation: The tower is capable to accommodate as many as 16,000 people
on a daily basis.
Design Key Features:
-Shanghai Tower is conceptually designed to embrace and stimulate the life of the city.
-Innovative sky gardens that set the building apart from any high-rise buildings, and overview them.
-Emphasizing public space and
locating shops, restaurants and urban
facilities at the atrium levels.
-Lujiazui district, in Pudong, and is considered one of the most leading financial centers in East Asia.
The architects in charge, projected the three key strategies,—the tower’s unique asymmetrical form, its obvious tapering silhouette, and its rounded corners—that would allow the building to withstand the typhoon-force winds, which are common in Shanghai.

More
-Massive Buffer Zone.
-Futuristic/Deconstructive Style.
-Cross Light Ventilation.
-Green Inner Panoramic Terraces.
-Supported Core.
-Spatial Arrangement.
-Using wind tunnel tests that are conducted in a Canadian lab, Gensler, and the famous structural engineer Thornton Tomasetti, refined the tower’s form, which reduced building wind loads by
24 %. The result is a lighter structure, that saved approximately$58 million in costly materials.
Contents
-Nine cylindrical buildings.
-Total of 128 floors.
-Enclosed by inner layer of the glass facade.
-nine indoor zones provide public space.
-Providing panoramic views of the city.
Project Timeline:
Rotation
-The design is a linear rotation operation from the bottom base to the top, This process experimented different rotation angles to find out the most efficient angle for the design.
-It is modeled by tilting the ground horizontal profile plan with the upper one, and that resulted a right circular cone. The tapering operation supported the purpose function of the building. The wide lower sector afforded wide spanning for the market and the offices, whereas the slender upper profiles provided short spanning for the hotel.
Shanghai tower's program is organized into 9 vertical zones.

"Sustainability is the main key to our survival on planet earth, and it will also determine our success on all levels".
Shari Arison
Buildings are responsible for around 35 to 40 % of the global energy usage, consuming a third of total universal resources used, and generating 40 % of solid waste.
Sustainability
The "sky gardens" concept, which will introduce green sustainable living more than 300 meters above the city streets.
More
An energy saving method which will ensure 20-25 % over a skyscraper of comparable size, using wind turbines.
These improved wind turbines are in a cylindrical shape with axial fins, that allow them to rotate and gain energy.

"Think of the double skin space like a thermos, " says Uhlir. "On the coldest days, it will insulate and warm the entire structure, while it will cool the building in the hot summer. Additionally, since you can just go out and walk to a garden, you're reducing the elevator usage. since You don't have to always go down to the ground floor."
Says the production company.
More
-Local materials from Shanghai's local market
approximately 800 km diameter.
-Capturing the rainwater harvesting, and grey water treatment facility
for high quality results.
