Moreover, this two-layer design had also significantly reduced the energy consumption in temperature control of this building.

At the same time, the space between the two glass layers becomes a temperature buffer, in doing so, it avoids the heat exchange directly between inside and outside.

Second protection - glue material is added in the glass making, therefore even if the glass is broken under a severe hammer test, all the pieces can be firmly attached to the glue and will not fall to the ground.

The outside glass layer is well protected: the first protection is using ultra clear glass as its glass material, because compare to the standard toughened glass, the self-explosive rate of ultra clear glass is nearly zero.

After a wind test on a proportional reduction model, it turned out that this design can reduce wind force by 24%, which is crucial for high architectures in a coastal city like Shanghai, where its buildings are often tested by typhoon. When the wind surrounds the building, the vortex shedding effect will cause the skyscrapers to shake violently. This unique design specifically can reduce the wind force against high architectures.

Shanghai Tower distorts about 1 degree at each floor as the building increases its height.

The tower is able to accommodate as many as 16,000 people on a daily basis.

Basement Section: B1 to B2 is for commercial retailers & Underground entrance B3 to B5 is for parking & engineering facilities.

Section 9 occupying L118 to L121 is observation deck, functioning for Leisure & Dining & Bars.

Section 7 and 8 from L84 to L115 are hotel sections.

Each two-level sky lobby serves as a community centre for that zone of the building, with such amenities as food and beverage and conference rooms.

Section 2 to section 6 occupying L8 to L81 are office sections with sky lobbies equipped in each section.

Section 1 from L1 to L5 is comprehensive conference rooms and retailer commercial counter.

There are 9 sections in the Shanghai Tower and each section has its own sky lobby and hall. Its tiered construction, designed for high energy efficiency, provides nine separate sections divided between office, retail and leisure use.

Reducing the energy consumption of skyscrapers is not only conducive to protecting the environment, but also making the large-scale construction projects more economically affordable and practical. The space between the two glass layers is between 3ft and 33 ft (90 to 10 m), providing space for the air hall, and acting as a heat insulation layer similar to a hot water bottle to reduce the temperature control consumption of the whole building.

The inner tube is round shape and the outside tube is triangle shape. Shanghai Tower has two glass layers, one inside and one outside, the whole structure of this building is like one huge tube putting outside another. The SOM and the Chinese architect Jun Xia were the leading of the design team and the construction drawing was presented by the top class Chinese university Tongji University. In the end, the American architectural firm Gensler had won the competition with their dragon shape design concept. Design Ideas and WhyĪmerican architectural SOM, KPF, Foster + Partners in Britain, Shanghai modern architectural design group and many famous architecture offices had participated in the design biding of Shanghai Tower. Shanghai Tower is a well spotted architecture in the Shanghai skyline viewing from the Bund. It was started to build in 2008 and finished in March 12th 2016. It also has the world's highest observation deck within a building or structure (Level 121, 561.25 m) and the world's fastest elevators at a top speed of 20.5 metres per second (74 km/h 46 mph) with its underground parking lot capable to hold 2000 vehicles. And It is also the tallest building in China so far and the world's next to the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai and followed by the world third highest building Royal Clock Tower Hotel in Saudi Arabia. It is the tallest of the world's first triple-adjacent super-tall buildings in Pudong, surpassing the Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Centre who stand near by it. The Shanghai Tower (Chinese: 上海中心大厦 pinyin: Shàng hǎi Zhōng xīn Dà shà literally: "Shanghai Centre Tower") is a 632-metre (2,073 ft), 128-story megatall skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai.
