5 Shanghai World Financial Center

Shanghai World Financial Center is located atNo. century avenue 100, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, adjacent to the Shanghai Tower which will be completed soon. The project is centered on Japan Mori Building Co., Ltd., with more than 40 enterprises from Japan and the United States as partners, with a total investment of more than 654.38 billion yen (more than 654.38 billion US dollars). The original design height was 460 meters, but it was later revised to 492 meters. The project covers an area of 30,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 3810.06 million square meters, adjacent to Jinmao Building. Completed on August 29th, 2008. Cost: 7.3 billion RMB.

Shanghai World Financial Center has a total of 104 floors (above ground10/floor and 3 underground floors), of which 94- 100 floors are sightseeing floors. Among them, the bottom of the inverted trapezoid is a 97-story sightseeing overpass, and the top is a 100 story, and a VIP sightseeing pavilion about 55 meters long is set up. Sightseeing facilities are located on floors 94 to 100 of Shanghai World Financial Center. The highest sightseeing hall in the world was born on the 100 floor. The 97th floor is like an overpass floating in the air. The 94th floor, with the panoramic view of the city as the background, provides communication space for holding various activities. There are two typhoon dampers on the 90th floor of the building (about 395 meters), each weighing 65,438+050 tons. The sensor is used to measure the shaking degree of the building when it encounters wind, and the moving direction of the damper is controlled by computer calculation to reduce the shaking of the building caused by strong wind. These two kinds of dampers will also become the highest automatic control dampers in the world at that time. Shanghai World Financial Center is a comprehensive building with office as its main function and integrating business, hotel, sightseeing, conference and other facilities. The 94th to10/floors of the building are sightseeing floors, the 79th to 93rd floors will be built into super five-star hotels, the 7th to 77th floors will be office buildings, the 3rd to 5th floors will be conference rooms, the 2nd to 3rd floors underground will be commercial facilities, and the 3rd to 6th floors underground are planned to be about 1 100.

The design of the world financial center has caused controversy. The original design was 460 meters high and 94 stories high. It was originally expected to be the tallest building in the world when it was completed. Later, due to the Asian financial crisis, the project was suspended for six years until February 6, 2003. At that time, its design height had been surpassed by other skyscraper construction plans. After the resumption of work, the design scheme of the building was revised, adding 32 meters (7 floors). Besides its height, it has its shape. William Patterson, president of KPF Company, said that the design of the financial center was originally inspired by the understanding of "heaven and earth" in China's traditional culture, which meant a perfect place. Moreover, the "round hole" with a diameter of 50 meters is the size of the second ball of the "Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower" not far away, and the hollow round hole and the solid ball just form an artistic aesthetic feeling that echoes from afar. But in the eyes of some people, this idea also shows another image. At the earliest, some people used superstition to create momentum on the internet, pointing out that the big round hole on the roof looked too much like the Japanese sun flag from a distance. Because many people in Shanghai and China thought that the original design looked like two Japanese knives with Japanese flags, and the builder was a Japanese company, they put pressure on the Shanghai World Financial Center Company, and some even resisted the establishment of the World Financial Center.

The center company immediately updated the design, and the original round hole was changed to square hole. However, most people who don't hold this view think that this is just a sideline of nationalism. Some people think that the original circular scheme of the building is more beautiful, and its shape conforms to one of the aesthetic viewpoints of simplicity and streamline, and it is also more harmonious with the surrounding buildings with spherical design elements, such as the Oriental Pearl and Shanghai International Conference Center. Others apply the traditional concept of "the sky is round" and think that the rectangular design is not bad.
