LIST OF TALLEST BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES IN THE WORLD -Shanghai Tower

Shanghai Tower

Data Source: Wikipedia.

Height: 632 meters

Number of Floors :128

Opened in November 2014

The Shanghai Tower is a 632-meter (2,073 ft), 128-story mega tall skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai. 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 meters per second (74 km/h; 46 mph).It is the world's second-tallest building by height to architectural top.

SOME CRAZY FACTS ABOUT SHANGHAI TOWER

The tower takes the form of nine cylindrical buildings stacked atop each other, totaling 127 floors, all enclosed by the inner layer of the glass facade. Between that and the outer layer, which twists as it rises, nine indoor zones provide public space for visitors. Each of these nine areas has its own atrium, featuring gardens, cafes, restaurants and retail space, and providing panoramic views of the city.

Both layers of the facade are transparent, and retail and event spaces are provided at the tower's base. The transparent facade is a unique design feature, because most buildings have only a single facade using highly reflective glass to reduce heat absorption, but the Shanghai Tower's double layer of glass eliminates the need for either layer to be opaqued. The tower is able to accommodate as many as 16,000 people on a daily basis

Shanghai Tower is the winner of Tien-yow Jeme Civil Engineering Prize of 2018

The tower cost an estimated $2.4 billion
