SHANGHAI TOWER IS THE NEW SYMBOL OF SHANGHAI—A
GATEWAY TO CHINA AND ASIA. THE 121-STORY TOWER SPEAKS TO
SHANGHAI’S PLACE IN THE WORLD ORDER AND TO ITS
TRANSFORMATION AS A GLOBAL METROPOLIS. YET ITS IMPACT
EXTENDS BEYOND ITS ROLE AS AN ICON FOR A GLOBAL FINANCIAL
CAPITAL. SHANGHAI TOWER’S LOCATION IN CHINA, THE LEADER IN
CONSTRUCTION OF SUPERTALL BUILDINGS, PLACES IT AT THE
CENTER OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF CITIES.
CITY INTRODUCTION
• LOCATION
:SEA BETWEEN THE MOUTH OF THE YANGTZE RIVER
• THE CITY IS LOCATED ON THE COAST OF THE EAST CHINA

(CHANG JIANG) TO THE NORTH AND THE BAY OF

HANGZHOU TO THE SOUTH.
• THE MUNICIPALITY’S AREA INCLUDES THE CITY
ITSELF, SURROUNDING SUBURBS, AND AN
AGRICULTURAL HINTERLAND.
• SHANGHAI IS CHINA’S MOST-POPULOUS CITY, AND
THE MUNICIPALITY IS ITS MOST-POPULOUS URBAN
AREA.
• SHANGHAI WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CHINESE PORTS TO BE SHANGHAI TOWER
OPENED TO WESTERN TRADE, AND IT LONG DOMINATED
THE NATION’S COMMERCE.
• SINCE THE COMMUNIST VICTORY IN 1949, HOWEVER, IT
HAS BECOME AN INDUSTRIAL GIANT WHOSE PRODUCTS
SUPPLY CHINA’S GROWING DOMESTIC DEMANDS.
• THE CITY HAS UNDERGONE EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL CHANGES
WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INDUSTRIAL SUBURBS AND
HOUSING COMPLEXES, THE IMPROVEMENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS, AND THE PROVISION OF PARKS AND OTHER
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.
• AREA SHANGHAI MUNICIPALITY, 2,400 SQUARE MILES
(6,200 SQUARE KM).
CLIMATE ANALYSIS
❖ CITY SITE:
• THE MAINLAND PORTION OF THE CITY LIES ON AN ALMOST LEVEL DELTAIC PLAIN
WITH AN AVERAGE ELEVATION OF 10 TO 16 FEET (3 TO 5 METERS) ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
• IT IS CRISSCROSSED BY AN INTRICATE NETWORK OF CANALS AND WATERWAYS THAT
CONNECT THE MUNICIPALITY WITH THE LAKE TAI REGION JUST TO THE WEST.

❖ CLIMATE:
• THE CITY’S MARITIME LOCATION FOSTERS A MILD CLIMATE CHARACTERIZED BY
MINIMAL SEASONAL CONTRAST.
• THE AVERAGE ANNUAL TEMPERATURE IS ABOUT 61 °F (16 °C); THE JULY MAXIMUM
AVERAGES ABOUT 80 °F (27 °C), AND THE AVERAGE JANUARY MINIMUM IS ABOUT 37
°F (3 °C).
• ABOUT 45 INCHES (1,140 MM) OF PRECIPITATION FALL ANNUALLY, WITH THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN JUNE AND THE LIGHTEST IN DECEMBER.
• ONE OF THE MAJOR CLIMATE PROBLEMS IS THE TYPHOON SEASON WHICH IS
FOLLOWED BY HEAVY WINDS AND RAIN.

❖ TOPOGRAPHY:
• BUILDING IN SHANGHAI IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE LAND IS SANDY RIVER
DELTA SOIL
AND THERE ARE TYPHOONS AND EARTHQUAKES.
• THE TOWER IS BUILT ON 70-METER-LONG (200-FEET) CONCRETE PILES. TO MAKE
THE STRUCTURE STABLE IN STRONG WINDS, IT HAS AN INNOVATIVE SPIRALLING
CYLINDRICAL SHAPE THAT IS AERODYNAMIC.
 URBAN CONTEXT
ANALYSIS LUJIAZUI
CENTRAL
GREEN
SHANGHAI TOWER IS THE MOST FORWARD-LOOKING OF THE THREE TOWERS THAT ANCHOR THE
LUJIAZUI COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. DESIGNED BY A LOCAL TEAM TO EMBODY THE CITY’S RICH
CULTURE, THE 632-METER-HIGH (2,073 FEET) MIXED-USE BUILDING COMPLETES THE SUPERHIGHRISE
LU
PRECINCT THAT INCLUDES THE JIN MAO TOWER AND THE SHANGHAI WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER. J
SHANGHAI TOWER’S ROUNDED TRIANGULAR FOOTPRINT IS DERIVED FROM ITS RELATIONSHIP TO RO IAZU
AD I E
THE TWO TOWERS. IT’S ALSO A RESPONSE TO THE BEND IN THE NEARBY HUANGPU RIVER.

 SITE SELECTION
• THE THREE MIXED USE TOWERS (JIN MAO TOWER,
SHANGHAI WORLD FINANCIAL CENTRE AND SHANGHAI
TOWER) ARE INTERCONNECTED, SERVED BY SHANGHAI
METRO AND ACCESSIBLE FROM ACROSS THE CITY. THAT
MEANS SHANGHAI TOWER IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO
LUJIAZUI UNDERGROUND STATION.
• WHICH MEETS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENT OF GBEL -
“THE TRANSPORT ORGANIZATION OF A SITE SHALL BE
REASONABLE, WITH THE WALKING DISTANCE FOR
ARRIVING AT A PUBLIC TRANSPORT STATION NOT
EXCEEDING 500M.”
• ALSO, NOTE THE REQUIREMENT LTC1 NEIGHBOURHOOD
DEVELOPMENT LOCATION OF LEED V4 FOR NC SAYS
“AVOID DEVELOPMENT ON INAPPROPRIATE SITES. TO
REDUCE VEHICLE DISTANCE TRAVELLED. TO ENHANCE
LIVABILITY AND IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH
BY ENCOURAGING DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.”
• IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS REQUIREMENT AND
ENCOURAGING MORE BICYCLE USE AS DAILY
TRANSPORTATION, EVERY BUILDING SHOULD HAVE A
PARKING LOT FOR BICYCLE, IN CASE OF SHANGHAI
TOWER, THERE IS 750 SQUARE METRES RESERVED FOR
BICYCLE PARKING.
Design Concept
Sculpted for Efficiency
The wind tunnel test is used to find the most
beneficial scaling factor of about 55% and rotation
at 120°, which is account for the 24% savings of the
wind
load working on the structure.

Technical Innovation
The concrete core acts with outriggers and
supercolumns are the advances science of super-
high rises.

Vertical Community
Shanghai tower embodies a new concept of super-
tall building by emphasizing public spaces at the
atrium levels.

Sustainable Achievements
There are two lays of skin wrapping the entire
building. The atriums created by the skins features
as an insulation which keep the temperature stable.

MODEL
DESIGN CONCEPT- VERTICAL URBANISM
SHANGHAI TOWER TAKES INSPIRATIONJ FROM THE CITY”S TRADITION OF SMALL-SCALE COURTYARDS AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, RECASTING THEM IN HIGH-
DENSITY URBAN FORM. THE TOWER IS DESIGNED TO EMBRACE AND STIMULATE THE LIFE OF THE CITY. IT DRAWS ON THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S AFFINITY FOR INDOOR-
OUTDOOR LIVING, A LIFESTYLE REFLECTED IN THE CITY HOUSES KNOWN AS SHIKUMEN, WHOSE NARROW ALLEYS AND COURTYARDS ARE A CANVAS FOR SOCIAL
LIFE. SHANGHAI TOWER EMBODIES THIS SAME PLANNING CONCEPT, BUT APPLIES IT VERTICALLY RATHER THAN HORIZONTALLY. ITS GATHERING SPACES ARE THE 21
SKY GARDENS THAT SET THE BUILDING APART FROM ANY HIGHRISE EVER BUILT.

BUILDING PROGRAM
SHANGHAI TOWER IS A CITY WITHIN A CITY COMPRISING NINE
VERTICALZONES, ESSENTIALLY NINE SMALLER BUILDINGS STACKED
ON ONE ANOTHER.

EACH ZONE IS 12 TO 15 STORIES TALL.. THESE DIVISIONS HELP TO

ORGANIZE THE BUILDING'S MIXED-USE PROGRAM, WHILE
SIMPLIFYING ITS HEATING, COOLING AND VERTICAL CIRCULATION.

THE MIXED-USE TOWER MEETS THE GROUND WITH A SIX-LEVEL

RETAIL PODIUM.O. NEXT ARE FIVE ZONES (70 FLOORS) OF CLASS A
COMMERCIAL OFFICE SPACE.

ABOVE THAT ARE TWO ZONES THAT HOUSE A LUXURY HOTEL.AT

THE VERY TOP ARE INDOOR OBSERVATION FLOORS AND, ON FLOOR
121, ANOPEN-AIR OBSERVATION DECK.A HIGH-SPEED ELEVATOR
TAKES VISITORS FROM THE BASE OF THE BUILDING TOTHE SUMMIT
IN UNDER TWO MINUTES.

THE TOWER MEETS THE GROUND WITH A SIX-LEVEL RETAIL

PODIUM THAT HOUSES SHOPS, CAFÉS, RESTAURANTS AND
PARKING.IN ADDITION, THE PODIUM HOUSES A CONFERENCE
CENTER WHOSE MULTIFUNCTION HALL-THE LARGEST GATHERING
SPACE IN THE ZONE EAST OF THE HUANGPU RIVER-WILL ATTRACT
AUDIENCES TO CONCERTS, PERFORMANCES, ART EXHIBITS
AND SOCIAL EVENTS.

• SEVERAL SCENARIOS WERE PROPOSED INVOLVING ROTATION AT 90°, 120°, 150°, 180° AND 210 AND THEN SCALING OFF 25%, 40% ,
55%, 70% AND 85%.
• RESULTS ACQUIRED THROUGH THIS PROCESS HAVE SHOWN THAT A SCALING FACTOR OF ABOUT 55% AND ROTATION AT 120° CAN
ACCOUNT FOR UP TO 24% SAVINGS IN STRUCTURAL WIND LOADING AND CLADDING PRESSURE REDUCTION.

THE TUNED MASS DAMPER
• A tuned mass damper (TMD), also known as a harmonic absorber or seismic damper,
is a device mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations.
• Their application can prevent discomfort, damage, or outright structural failure.
• They are frequently used in power transmission, automobiles, and buildings.
CONCLUSION
• This megatall skyscraper has set an example in front of designers, which gives a lot of potential thoughts about
solving global environmental issues.

• It is a wonderful blend of active as well as passive sustainable strategies in order to achieve eco-friendly built
mass. This shows the good side of technology as it helps to achieve environmental development.

• It serves as a prototype design for the upcoming skyscrapers.

• It also teaches us to never give up on the difficulties we face while executing dynamic ideas on site.

• Each and every aspect of the functional organization should have a sustainable approach in order to achieve
maximum efficiency.
