R&F Properties is planning a supertall in Tianjin. 360m according to the press, floors don't know. Including the spire it might reach 415m.

The design might not be definitive. It's the tallest one in the pictures.

The project will be located very close to Sino-Steel tower (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=454922).

the tallest building looks like Freedom Tower...

that is definitely the freedom tower......

For the spike, it does look like it but the rest does not

HO come on....a bit of fantasy...they got the Freedom Tower and ruined it a bit....

The Freedom Tower is an a ugly building then. It was already ruined in origin.

Very "original" design!
I would never have such an idea by myself.

It looks better than Freedom tower! :lol:

[^Nah, they ruined something sleek and classy.]

Wow, this has to be the most unique building on the face of this planet!

(I do like the diagrid though, if that is a diagrid - need a close up.)

WOW! That is an amazing design....

what is that building to the left designed with a mixture of Blobitecture and modernist architecture?

it's an eye sore. another example of just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

cool design and the most important the height would be around 415m. this would be great addition to Tianjin's skyline.

^^ same height as trump tower in chicago :colgate:

i love the new masterplan of tianjin CBD and 415m wow but hope it gets approved and built quickly seems to be competition among chinese cities on who has the better CBD masterplans

I noticed this at Goettsch Partners website. The link isn't available, just listed, so they haven't published the design by the moment. I guess it is the same project as this.

New design? I can count 110 floors, 97 if we exclude the light blue part, which are probably technical floors. You can see the render on the wall too.

Looking a bit "Trumpy" now.

I like the new model much better. Very nice.

Like others said the old render looks like the Freedom Tower and I hate the Freedom Tower.:bash:

:lol: I guess we'll have to see what the facade will look like first.

The new model looks better, assuming they will have some decent cladding

is that the new design? :bash:

it used to look like freedom tower but now it looks like a mixture of sears & trump tower :lol:

yeah. I wont be surprised if tomorrow it will look like chi spire.

It looks a little like Chicao Trump tower indeed, which looks very much like Nanjing Greenland Plaza. So we better say that this tower looks like Nanjing Greenland Plaza.

What makes you assume Greenland Plaza came first? The earliest thread I was able to find on it in the forum came from mid 2005. The oldest I could find on Trump came from January 2003, and it sounded like it had been proposed for quite some time before that, as well, possibly even prior to Sept 11, 2001.

Wow, didn't know that the Trump Tower had been proposed so early. Nanjing GP was started in early 2005, and proposed as soon as 2003 since I remember I saw some images soon after registering. But not as soon as 2001, that's sure.

The first design had a fugly facade. The second one is better. I'm a bit more interested in what seems to be the 2nd tallest building, with all the 'holes'.

Sino-Steel Tower, 358m/1174ft, 80 floors.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=454922

Yeah that's the one. I saw the thread a while ago.

So this went from being 415m to 500m then Zorg? That's quite a jump, that means Tianjin will now have 2 500+ m buildings hypothetically speaking. Whoa, amazing!

No official info by the moment, but seems so. The structure has 110 floors plus a spire, should be above 500m. On the other hand, who knows wether it is the final design.

it's ok, but could be better :)

I agree. The other tower (Sino-Steel) "steals the show". There are 2 other projects in the model that might end up looking pretty good (the yellow one and the one to its right).

it looks similar, nothing more. why is it always directly a fake, stolen design, etc....:weird:

Hopefully they'll choose the other design, which looks much better and taller

^^The architect of this project is not good at designing but s/he must be very good at cladding designs. The facade is beautiful :okay:

^^ One of the two proposals was designed by James Zheng at Goettsch & Partners, but dont know which one.

Freedom Tower, Trump...

The third design will be the Eiffel Tower ;)

In fact, I love the former design so much

also looks a little like the library tower

Height supposed to be 380m now. They probably chose the shorter, uglier proposal. I don't think this height includes the spire.

But what is the final design?
I really like the original one

What road is this on? Qufu Dao?

the 2nd design is better because the first looks exactly like Freedom tower..

What road is this on? Qufu Dao?

No, it's in Binhai New Area CBD, somewhere near Tanggu.

What's the building with all the circular windows? That's a rather neat design... I assume it's not built yet? I've never seen any pics of it before...

Why is every new supertall in Tanggu :(

^^ then we get a nice cluster, thats good.

And that CBD has a great shape so it can look really nice, maybe even a better shape that liujiaziu or something.

Why is every new supertall in Tanggu :(

There's still a lot in Tianjin city, but I agree, definitely not enough compared to the tiny city of Tanggu :ohno:!

i prefer tanggu, its closer to the harbour and it has a great shape because of the river bend

93 floors according to this poster. Wow, can't be 380m!

Goettsch Partners Unwrap Tianjin Supertall

Published on 07-11-2010 by Skyscrapernews.com
Coming from the pens of Goettsch Partners is another supertall tower proposed for the Chinese city of Tianjin.

With a height of 439 metres, the scheme is being developed by Guangzhou R&F Properties as a mixed use development to contain 294,570 square metres of space and 91 occupiable levels. This will include 134,900 square metres of grade A office space, 55 condos, a 400 bedroom five star hotel, and 8,550 square metres of retail on the lower floors.

The tower is designed to set back as it rises and as the number of service cores in the building that host 55 lifts decrease. This means that despite the shrinking size of the tower on the upper levels, the space between the core and the building perimeter will actually be the same as on the lower floors.

Working as a slickly glazed affair, the tower has been planned to have what appears to be an unwrapping motion as it rises. Along with the curving corners on the building, this is intended to reference ancient Chinese scrolls. Exploiting this concept are the atria located at every point that the tower unwraps whilst on top of each will be a landscaped roof.

Construction has yet to begin on site as the architects are still working on polishing the design, but they expect the scheme to be completed in 2015 making an impressive counterpoint to the nearby Sinosteel Tower.

^^ nice to see some proper renderings of it, and it looks really good.

For exact plot location, check Urbika (http://urbika.com/projects/view/4117-r-amp-f-tower).
A more detailed description can be found on Goettsch Partners website.

Goettsch Partners (GP) has been commissioned by developer Guangzhou R&F Properties Co. Ltd. to design a new 294,570-square-meter mixed-use tower in the city of Tianjin, China. Occupying a central parcel in the city’s newly planned business district, Tianjin R&F Guangdong Tower will be one of China’s tallest buildings at 439 meters. The complex features 134,900 square meters of Class A office space, a 400-key five-star hotel, 55 condominiums, and 8,550 square meters of retail. The tower is designed to establish a signature visual profile in the city skyline and provide a destination for the people of Tianjin and beyond.

The building’s design responds to the programmatic needs of each function, as well as to the decreasing size of the core. The tower unwraps around its vertical axis as it ascends, similar in nature to a shell or ancient scroll. In this manner, the form relates to the historical context of the site’s location in the Tanggu district, a point of sea trade. The unwinding form also creates unique opportunities to introduce multi-story atria into the program in each vertical zone. These landscaped interior spaces provide ideal circulation for multi-floor tenants, daylighting for deeper lease spans, and inviting social meeting spaces within the building’s upper floors. The landscaped interiors are an instrumental part of the overall environmental sensitivity to the new downtown’s iconic centerpiece.

Clearly defining the building’s circulation pattern is critical to achieving a successful mixed-use project. The site’s vehicular circulation is divided by function for efficient access to the tower from the main roads. Pedestrian circulation is further segregated throughout the site, with a landscaped plaza on the building’s north side that creates a welcoming arrival space for the complex. Internally, each of the primary building programs is separated at the ground floor, providing clear and intuitive wayfinding for the occupants. Access from the ground floor to each of the primary building functions is then provided by a network of 55 elevators, which quickly and efficiently deliver guests to their destinations within the tower.

The primary palette of high-performance glass and metal is employed for the exterior design of the building. Floor-to-ceiling glass maximizes views and ambient light, as well landscaped roofs and interior atriums for both their visual and energy benefits. The design promotes material and façade approaches that are integral to the performance of the building systems, not decorative. Above all, the architectural “skin” seeks to positively impact the pedestrian scale through transparency and texture, while minimizing the project’s environmental footprint.

The project is currently finishing design and is scheduled for completion in 2015.

Goettsch Partners is a Chicago-based architecture firm providing innovative architectural, interior, planning and building enclosure design services. With additional offices in Shanghai and Abu Dhabi, the firm’s work spans four continents. Recently completed projects include premier office towers in Beijing, Chicago and Shanghai, and luxury business hotels in China, India and the United States. Select current projects include the new Chicago office of international law firm Baker & McKenzie; the North American headquarters of pharmaceutical company Astellas in Glenview, Illinois; Northwestern University’s new signature music building in Evanston, Illinois; China’s Grand Hyatt Chengdu at Chicony Plaza, which integrates a 450-key hotel and one of the country’s largest department stores; a 900-room Hilton hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and a 3 million-square-foot office development in Abu Dhabi that features the headquarters building of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.

Not necessarily an absolute wowzer (compared to the likes of ST and some other projects in China) but generally a very nice design.

I love the design and I love how awesome Chinese cities are becoming

美国gp设计的成都群光广场百货落成(组图)

日期:2011-9-1 10:16:47 来源:ABBS

最近一栋位于成都的37层高的综合开发楼临近竣工,且第一期111,500平米的群光广场百货已经开张。该综合体大楼位于紧靠着成都商业中心的城市街区广场,主要由一座12层的百货商场以及一座25层的君悦酒店组成。

该商业综合体的设计最大限度地满足了现有城市肌理的特定功能需求。通过将酒店塔楼不对称地堆叠至商业裙房上,使建筑体量与周围环境整合为一。裙房入口面向北侧则为与活跃的城市广场创造了非常理想的联系。酒店塔楼位于基地南面,为所有的酒店客房提供了广阔的视野和充足的阳光。裙房和塔楼两个体块的协调是由一系列阶梯型的屋顶花园所统一,这些花园可通过通酒店的空中大堂、宴会厅和餐饮设施到达。

白色不透明玻璃以及高性能的可视玻璃材料在城市肌理中建立了一种强烈的对比感。外立面的设计由一系列的建筑的”平面和退进”所组成,窗户和接缝图案的轮换在严谨的外立面上营造出一种视觉上的动感。悬挑的玻璃块构成了极具现代感的”商业遮篷”,使建筑的裙房更显活力。这些悬挑的玻璃块为步行街提供了一种连续律动的雨篷效果,并且也将大量裙房的指示牌和广告需求进行了很好的组织。

群光广场百货是目前中国中部最大型的百货公司之一,并且酒店一共打造了450间客房。其上部的酒店计划于2012年底开张。

美国gp建筑设计有限公司总部位于芝加哥,提供创新的建筑,室内,规划和建筑幕墙设计服务,并在上海和阿布扎比设有分公司,所完成的项目涵盖四大洲。最近完成的项目包括在美国芝加哥、中国北京和上海的甲级办公楼,以及在美国、中国和印度的豪华商务酒店。目前正在进行的项目包括位于美国芝加哥的著名律师事务所Baker & McKenzie 的办公楼、Astellas制药公司北美总部和西北大学音乐学院音乐厅、即将成为中国最高楼之一的500米高的中国天津富力广东大厦、900间客房的沙特阿拉伯利雅得希尔顿酒店、以及阿拉伯联合酋长国阿布扎比的280,000平方米的阿布扎比证券交易所总部大楼。

So far the height has been raised from 385m to 439m to 500m. Who knows, maybe there will be further height increases :D

I made a post about the height increase in the "report status changes"-thread. Is the number of floors still 93?

but we also know about last second height changes downwards, so let's not cheer too much :D

The added height is due to the spire, number of floors still 93.

good job,dude !

hopefully they increase the speed :S

New design? I can count 110 floors, 97 if we exclude the light blue part, which are probably technical floors. You can see the render on the wall too.

The new model looks better to me...!!
The previous one was not as good as you have made a new one...!!

I don't know.

There will be 91 floors above ground. I just talked to a representative from Geottsch Partners.

Oh, so it's the same building with a stick on top?... Lame... :(

Did he confirm the spire and height?

Did he confirm the spire and height?

Yes, the spire is exactly 500 m.

The building reminds me of Nanjing's Greenland, but other than that it's a nice looking building. It also has some Chinese aesthetics to it :)

the spire doesn't look THAT tall tbh. i think it may be 30 to 60m. at least the spire isnt very dominating as compared to 1WTC for example.

Hi All,

There has been a revision to the design. There are now multiple spires, which are a bit shorter. Here are the heights taken from an elevation drawing:

tip of spires - 468 m.
top of parapet - 420 m.
mechanical PH roof - 401 m.
highest occupiable floor- 384 m.

Hi Vito! Any rendering of the new design? Seems interesting with multi-spires

wow is that the core of the tower it looks very big. and why do all buildings in china at the early stages of construction have some green net and scaffolding structures around them?

^^ This is not the main tower. It hasn't started digging yet. It's going to be located behind this one in green net on the same site.

Is that the highest tower going up?:banana:

which plot is for the supertall. the one where the building is allready rising or the one where they are working on the foundation?

which plot is for the supertall. the one where the building is allready rising or the one where they are working on the foundation?

sadly, the foundation one.

thanks for the answer. there are quite a lot of supertalls in this phase of construction. therefore we will have many completition ceremonies in a few yaers

There are always completion ceremonies in a few years.;) But I know what you mean.

Is this tower designed by the same architecture firm as Trump building? Just hope that it won't have the same cladding. Prefer a look closer to Nanjing Greenland Tower.

Is that the highest tower going up?:banana:

if you mean the highest tower in Tianjin, no :). This is the Goldin Finance 117 with 597m.
