The tower is located in Lujiazui district, in Pudong, and is considered one of the leading financial centers in East Asia. Gensler Company designed the tower through an international multi-staged design competition. The tower is considered one of three distinct buildings that present the past, present, and future of Shanghai city. The design was in...
As we know, BIM technology has proven lately valuable efficiency in the systematization of different construction projects mainly in collaboration, coordination, and sharing data. It unifies the platform for all disciplines to share their design files. It is an effective information system that creates a database for all design and construction pha...
The flowing spiraling form of the tower was generated from a rounded triangular plan. This rounded triangle was derived from the relationship between the curved bank of Huangpu River, Jin Mao Tower, and the Shanghai World Financial Center. This attractive and distinctive form will be a milestone in Shanghai city for representing China as a global f...
It is shaped like an equilateral triangle with smooth edges derived from two tangential curves. There are two variables that shaped the profile: The radius of the large circle and its location to the center of the equilateral triangle.
It is modeled by tapering the ground horizontal profile with the upper one, which resulted in a right circular cone. The taper operation supported the function of the building. The wide lower profile afforded wide spans for the market and offices, whereas the slender upper plans provided short spans for the hotel.
It is a linear rotation operation from the base to the top. This process used different rotation angles to find out the best angle for the design. The design team generated a number of alternatives for the geometrydepending on two variables: the percentage of tapering operation and the angle of a twisting process. They built two models with differe...

The Shanghai Tower, soaring to 632 meters in height, is perhaps best known for being the tallest building in China, and the second tallest building in the world but it is so much more than just tall. Its unique spiral shape is built to withstand wind speeds up to 114 miles per hour, and the Gensler-designed structure also
