Shanghai Tower

HISTORY

The Shanghai Tower is hard to forget, even if Walter Hagen says no one remembers who was second. Additionally, the building boasts world’s fastest elevators and shares the world’s tallest indoor observation desk with Ping An Finance Center.. The Shanghai Tower probably won’t disappoint you despite its second-place accolades or near wins. The floor plates are rotated to create an effortless twist that spans the entire building’s height

Curtain wall systems offer just as much interest as decisions on the building’s form. Heat is less likely to be absorbed through a double wall system as compared to a single wall system.. As there are two layers of glass, they can both be clear while still providing adequate protection. In one of his writings about the building design, Gensler described it as the “greenest super high-rise building ever built”.Wind turbines, solar-protective curtain walls, and geothermal power sources are some of the green elements that support this claim
