SHANGHAI | Shanghai Tower | 632m | 2073ft | 121 fl | U/C - Page 104

I'm not saying anywere that walls wille go up. I'm just saying that walls can be underground part of the tower. I have only 59 posts on account but i read a lot about construction procedures, I can tell you

TXSkyWatcher · December 21st, 2008, 02:39 PM

Yeah, but these walls are above ground and the cavity extends below street level. The tower's construction will be a central cement core with curtain walls on the outside. My guess is that the whole thing will disappear before too long.

I am fairly surprised it hasn't been demolished before now. Regardless of what it was before or why it's still there, it's not part of the new tower.

My god, these are the best renderings I have seen so far for this tower. Simply spectacular !!!

drew.magoo · December 28th, 2008, 06:20 AM

so, im still confused about the edge thats split and spirals up
will that be open? or will there some kind of slot like thingy inside that closes it in?

Sky_Crawler · December 28th, 2008, 11:44 AM

where have the all Chineses gone?

buildmilehightower · December 28th, 2008, 01:01 PM

never notice that but LOOOOL

Maybe the tower is symbolising that center of the shanghai is all taken up by the foreigners after all.

luci203 · December 28th, 2008, 08:35 PM

Pudong is not the center of Shanghai...

staff · December 28th, 2008, 08:37 PM

Nor is it "taken up by foreigners".

buildmilehightower · December 28th, 2008, 08:45 PM

didn't literally mean either points, just kidding...

Hi all.

This is one of the best designs out there. Very cutting edge.

This one is going to be interesting to watch grow.

kix111 · December 29th, 2008, 12:19 AM

just showing shanghai will be an international city i guess...

those top 500 firms in the world are mostly european anyway..

The artists usually buy stock people (imagery), and they might not have had asian people. I don't think there's any deeper message to it.

Yeah, and on the wrong sinde

You can see Shanghai Stock Exchange building on the same side

This picture reminds me of "Mission Impossible 3" when Tom jumped from the top of Bocom Financial Tower, and landed near "Tomorow Square"

It is obvious that Pearl Tower was added on the original photo while rendering Shangahi Center.

It has been more than two weeks without any update pics.. I'm curious how it progresses, if they're still speeding like in the beginning things must have changed by now! This will be an interesting one to follow in 2009.

kix111 · January 2nd, 2009, 07:24 PM

Bonnani · January 2nd, 2009, 07:31 PM
