12月16日，武汉王家墩中央商务区（武汉CBD）首座地标性国际甲级写字楼项目——"武汉国际金融中心"（拟用名）概念方案专家咨询会在香格里拉隆重召开，武汉市副市长尹维真、市政府副秘书长柳荣忠，武汉市建委、市发改委、市规划局等部门负责人应邀出席。来自全国的超高层项目设计专家，其中包括容柏生院士等，以及数名全国知名的建筑、规划、交通、结构专家汇聚一堂，对概念方案进行了深入研讨。

此次"武汉国际金融中心"的概念方案由美国SOM公司、中国建筑设计研究院、华东建筑设计研究院三家中外知名机构参与竞标，共提交了6套方案，对武汉乃至华中地区这座新地标建筑用不同理念进行了诠释和表达。

"武汉国际金融中心"位于武汉CBD商务核心区，规划建造为高度350米-400米左右的超高层多功能商务综合体，楼高约82层，建筑面积22.5万方，集写字楼、酒店、商业、会议等功能于一体，按国际5A级标准设计，南面紧邻规划占地35公顷的武汉市最大的人工水体公园，建成后将成为代表武汉城市形象的华中新地标。

作为华中第一高楼和武汉CBD首个商务项目，"武汉国际金融中心"的建设引起了各方的广泛关注，已有多家国内外知名企业表达进驻意向。此次第一轮概念设计方案将在武汉CBD网站上进行公示，并开通专题网页，面向大众征集意见。

武汉CBD是武汉"十一五"重点建设项目，自去年9月王家墩机场的迁建和土地移交工作正式完成后，武汉CBD市政基础设施建设进展迅速，2008年将完成103、101东西辅道两条主干道路的建设，打通商务区最核心的十字交通轴线，同时202、305、102等多条道路也已陆续开建。

与此同时，随着"武汉国际金融中心"项目展开概念方案征集，泛海城市广场、泛海中央居住区等商业综合体和高档住宅项目的开发建设也正全面推进。其中武汉CBD首批住宅——泛海中央居住区（北片）项目已于今年10月31日动工，有望在明年正式面市。该项目位于武汉CBD北部，临近范湖地铁站，紧密围合在规划12公顷的王家墩公园（武汉市市级公园）周边，首期开发22万平方米，规划为9栋高层住宅，其中有3栋楼已通过国家住房和城乡建设部评定的3A级住宅设计预审。
武汉王家墩中央商务区建设投资股份有限公司负责人表示，武汉CBD作为极富经济活力和现代气息的多功能城市中心，在"促进中部 崛起"国家战略的大背景下，肩负"两型社会"国家级综合改革试验区的建设重任，将极大的改善城市人居环境，引发新一轮的国际企业进驻和投资热潮，为武汉经济发展和就业创造更多机会，在扩大内需、整合城市资源、提升城市价值等各方面起到不可替代的重要作用，成为武汉新形象、新风貌的亮点和展示窗口。

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/xin_1431205161534750721110.jpg

here im not even sure which one i want them to build, the 400m design is quite ugly.

I like Proposal 6

Proposal 1 or 5. They are the best among the others.

proposal 5 is a Shanghai Tower spin-off :)

proposal 1 is decent too... :cheers:

proposal 2 is ugly. :ohno:

proposal 3 and 4 are ok.

5 or 6 are best

The 1st and 4th are awesome, SOM is great in its proposals but ECADI is cool too

i think SOM is by far the best

Proposal 6 seems to be the most innovative.

from the renders proposals 5 and 6 look best. In real i really doubt that they'll look any good though, especially number 6.
Proposals 1 and 3 will be the safest option, they look great too.

6 all the way

All the China renders are GREAT, very futuristic and Cool!

there all pretty good, excluding the tallest one.

1 is best

i like the last proposal the best

#6 is the best, but of course it won't get picked...so that probably means the first one by SOM. 3 and 4 are boring. 5 is pretty interesting, but not as interesting as 6.

anything but 2...........

I like proposal number 3, the best !

Another render.

Model of Wangjiadun CBD, by caohui. We can see they're planning 6 supertalls at least.
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/20090425125237674c.jpg

I guess that Asia will undoubtedly hold the title as center of the worlds tallest mega structures for several decades to indefinite :)

This one is very likely to be the final design. 400m+, 82 floors.
More images.

^^ It will be started in September 2009.

I hoped it would be design#1 but #3 was my #2 choice.
Good job Wuhan, i think this is its first supertall am I right?

no lol, there's already the Minsheng Bank tower (330m) completed a few years ago.

look like Casper in Shanghai?

^^ its jasper. And the crown is completely different.

http://img275.imageshack.us/img275/8896/568z8iq.jpg

Proposal 2. Because it looks different, a unique building!

^^ yes, it looks different... different from other skyscrapers at least... and u know why??? Cus no one's ever been crazy enough to build such a ridiculous thing.

Proposal 1 was my favorite, but the final (most likely) one was my 2nd choice so thats good.

Final height: 428m.
Final name: Wuhan Center.
Start: September 2009.

Look at the renders, wow. Seems like there are many other proposals, don't know what's the final.
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/IMG_0125.jpg

@Silentstrike, The last picture you uploaded will be the final one?

@ topic, I think nr.1 is nice, nr. 2 is not of this time, nr. 3 isn't cool enough, nr. 4 possible, nr. 5 is like a giant pencil upside down, nr. 6 is too futuristic, can't actually see what it will be.

But that last one (from Silentstrike) is really great, with that kind of open roof, it could be quiet romantic when you have an appertment there!

^^No, it's Jasper tower in Shanghai. The final design hasn't been revealed yet.

Out of nowhere comes a third supertall for Wuhan. First the Minsheng Bank Building, then the Gezhouba International Plaza, and now this.

^^ Shui On is building another supertall too.

I know Wuhan since I was a little kid, because it was a city in SimCity 1 :lol:
Great projects going on!

Ground breaking ceremony took place today. 428m, 88 floors.

Groundbreaking Starts On Wuhan Supertall

Groundbreaking today began on a new supertall skyscraper to stand in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

Imaginatively named the Wuhan Center, the scheme features a 428 metre tall, 87 storey commercial building with 256,000 square metres of floor space that's been designed by Chinese architecture firm, ECADI.

To secure the scheme, ECADI won an international competition that was entered by a number of leading firms including finalists Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and CADREG.

The Wuhan Center has been designed with a basic square footprint at its base with gentle curves. As the tower rises the floorplates gradually shrink causing it to gently taper in. Near the top of the building some 410 metres above ground level there will be a new public observation deck.

The project is one of the first of the planned supertall skyscrapers to go up in what will be a new business district for the city, Wangjiadun. Wangjiadun has an eventual completion date of 2020 and once finished will have a further five supertall towers making it one of the densest collections of such buildings on Earth.

This includes the outline approval of a 436 metre tall mixed use tower by the city authorities very recently. Detailed designs of the development are yet to be released.

http://skyscrapernews.com/news.php?ref=2306

Is that the same cladding that was already used for the Nanjing Greenland Financial Center?

The final desing ain't that bad, but I preferred the previous one.

nice!

awesome! Wuhan starts rising from today on.

I want to see foto of ceremony breaking from the building...

Cool, i like the new design more, the old design looks too much like one of the towers in Pudong.

which one did they decide on? or have they?

^^ :?
The previous page has 10 (ten) pics of the render and model.

They definitely picked the least daring of the proposals, and kind of looks like the design for Lotte in Busan.

Another render
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/others3/1222.jpg

^^ omg...............

build them all and fast xD The H-shaped building in the middle is one of my favorite.

I think this is the most exciting threads in the proposed tall list cause this actually would get built . I think the Wuhan government is damn serious about this.

I would like to get in there to get some pics of the work going on. However the entire Wangjiadun area is just chaos right now and hard to get into. Maybe during the Spring Festival it will be quiet and I can get some shots??

^^ If you visit the place, please tell us if some other plot has advs of whatever of other developers, renders, etc. And we'll look for info about them. The area is supposed to host around 5-7 supertalls in a mid-long term, most taller than 400m.

what company designed the winning design? btw the facade looks like the clad of greenland plaza, really nice design

Another render
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/others3/1222.jpg

:drool::drool: ~*!PLEASE MAKE THIS COME TRUE!*~ :drool::drool:

woah the H shaped building looks like a bank of china and emirates towers crossover

^^ Yeah, looks really nice. Its planned to look unplanned in a way. A bit like Singapore's

Wow!!!!!!

Video
I2NjLIuJI6E

^^ Nice~~ It says the whole CBD area including other infrastructures (maybe including the transportation ie. metro) will be 100% done by 2017-2020

Just like Guangzhou's Zhujaing and Tianjin's Tanggu..I'm thinking this area will be a magnet of activities in the near future. :D Can't wait! they should began now

I can't believe it. Some renders show up to 6x400m+ in that CBD, 10 years only? It's going to be amazing.

Awesome!!!! I can't say enough how much I love the Wuhan Center!!! Thank you Zorg for bringing the updates!!! :)

every thing about this project and the nearby supertalls seems to look absolutely great!
this would be really sad if it never happened
the designs just look so good :cheers2:

So I actually made it into wangjiadun today, although I didn't have my camera. With the exception of Wuhan center(I think they called it Wuhan Tower), and Oceanwide Estate(the company that owns Wangjiadun) I didn't see any other buildings advertised. However, I was in a taxi and on my way to the hospital so I may have missed something. I promise I will eventually get in there with my camera and get some shots for you guys. On a positive note, there did seem to be a lot of ground work going on at various plots throughout the area.

Thanks Gonard! I look forward to seeing lots of updates from you!!!:banana:
P.s. Make sure you take pictures above the fence if you can. Some updates we get are only of the fence and we can't see what is going on the plot. So frustrating....

No, it is a common misconception. A new standard will probably not change C a huge amount to the casual observer. it should certainly maintain backwards compatability whereever possible. What it will, (http://nowreddy14l351.webs.com/apps/blog/show/5789280-penis-advantage-now) most likely do is standardise certain extensions (some POSIX C extensions spring to mind) which are commonly used.

Bear in mind a standard is exactly that - a document detailing the language. This is nothing to do with the practical side of things (compiler writing) at that stage. After the standard has been finalised and released, then it is up to the compiler writers to implement it... implementation is simple compared to creating the standard

i think when the title was changed someone made a typo and never changed it :)
at least i went through the whole thread and did not find anyone talking about a height increase to 438m.
:cheers:

from the Developer's website
... With a total floor space of 321400m2 and land area of 2.81 hectares, the center has 88 storeys and is 438 meters high. ...
http://www.whcbd.com/en_us/projects/wuhan_center.shtml

I can only find 438m on chinese websites and CTBUH either. 438m should be the correct height. :)

And this is the new CBD, correct?
(there is sooooo little info on Wuhan, which I find odd)

Next generation of skyscrapers are going to pop-out of China. It is amazing looking at the building rising up.

And this is the new CBD, correct?
(there is sooooo little info on Wuhan, which I find odd)

a few days ago there was a documentation about wuhan in CCTV, but they did not show any projects, only the normal travelling and food stuff you would expect.

Are these two connected towers in the 2nd pic a real project?

WORK-OF-ART!!! Though not the tallest, certainly one of the best designs out there.

china metro development is amazing. more and more middle-scale-citys(downtown population 1-3 million)joined metro construction compitition

i am so happy they ended with this design, it is by far the best comparing it to all proposals they had before.

i am also interested in the twin towers. in one picture a few posts above mine:
http://pic.qnpic.com:83/r.jsp?fn=//fanjoin/share/2012/7/21/21342880785640.jpg

you can see they are connected, on others they are not, if they connect them it will be crazy. :cheers:

The design looks similar to the 468m project in Chongqing i think

They are still in proposal stage. There are actually only 2 towers since one is a twin. However, it is said on gaoloumi that only one is going to be build. The twin tower is the 560m&400+m Tower of the Crane and the tower one the right is the 666 Wangjiadun CBD project.

No doubt. Look at CTF tower in guangzhou how fast it is rising :)

CTF in Guangzhou is rising about 2 floors in three days. We will see how fast the Wuhan Center in the next 2-3 months

Doubt this !! 2 floors in 3 days??? :hm:

yeah i am sure this will fly up soon. also do not forget that there won't be progress for a bit now, since chinese new year is near

Wow, that is a whole factory being build on the core, that will definately make a boost this spring.

Well, maybe he means the formwork rose two floors in 3 days, that's possible.:D

It's amazing to see most tall buildings in most famous cities in history China.

Yes, we saw already a big difference between 2 and 4 cranes at Ping An :)

This basic design has spread all over China.

3 X 3 inner concrete core, super columns ring the core, cladding and design then the only major differences.

I would expect that as thousands of workers gain experience with these techniques that you will see 300+m buildings everywhere in China over the next decade.

:drool: oh please let that happen. it reminds me of Guangzhou's CBD a few years ago now, very modern twins of that height without a spire planned. Would be amazing to see it become a reality. :cheers:

why build one when you can have two at twice the price?

first i had doubts that it was shopped, but now seeing more renders it looks like it is seriously planned :drool:

upper picture of the ones zorg just uploaded, you can see another 3 extremely tall towers (300m+, 400m+, 500m+) behind without any designs yet and since the location of this tower is to the west of all the other buildings we know about, these must all be new. :cheers: keep in mind that Wuhan is already the city with most 400m buildings under construction in the world, so more to come means this city will blow our minds even more.

^^ We have been expecting additional supertalls in this area (Wangjiadun CBD) for ages. They say the tallest one is 600m+. But they are long term plans.

^^
Wuhan will never stop constructing, it is just in the beginning of a boom and there is even more planned, just wow :cheers:
