Russia's Massive Lakhta Center Named Skyscraper of the Year 1/7/2021 Russia's massive Lakhta Center named skyscraper of the year ARCHITECTURE Russia's massive Lakhta Center named skyscraper of the year By Adam Williams November 11, 2020 VIEW 14 IMAGES The Lakhta Center, by Gorproject and RMJM, has been declared the world's best new skyscraper by information specialist Emporis during its annual Skyscraper Award Lakhta Center VIEW GALLERY - 14 IMAGES Information specialist Emporis has revealed the winner of its annual Skyscraper Award. From over 700 skyscrapers ofxcially completed in 2019, the number one spot has gone to Russia's massive Lakhta Center, which rises to a maximum height of 462 m (1,516 ft) in St. Petersburg. https://newatlas.com/architecture/emporis-skyscraper-award-2020/ 1/10 1/7/2021 Russia's massive Lakhta Center named skyscraper of the year AD Point & Shoot 3D Scanners The Lakhta Center, which was designed by Gorproject and RMJM, is Europe's tallest building and the 13th-tallest worldwide. Indeed, it's a huge project and construction involved 20,000 people from 18 countries. Its facade comprises 16,505 individual pieces of glass and the building takes the overall form of a spire with xve wings that twist from top to bottom. Though most of the interior is given over to ofxce space, it also features an observation deck and a restaurant boasting panoramic views of the area. https://newatlas.com/architecture/emporis-skyscraper-award-2020/ 2/10 1/7/2021 Russia's massive Lakhta Center named skyscraper of the year The Lakhta Center takes the form of a spire with xve wings that twist as the building rises Gorproject "When choosing the Lakhta Center as its favorite, the jury was impressed by the skyscraper's unusual form," says Emporis. "The exterior structure of the building consists of xve wings that rotate almost 90 degrees. The twist creates a dynamic impression, giving the building the shape of a blazing yame, which resembles the logo of Gazprom, the natural gas producer that has taken up its new headquarters inside the building. "The skyscraper was also able to score points with the jury due to its use of environmentally friendly and energy efxcient technologies. As the northernmost supertall skyscraper in the world, the building is exposed to extreme temperatures. A double skin facade prevents unnecessary heat loss and makes it extraordinarily energy efxcient. In addition, thanks to the innovative use of infrared radiators, excess heat is not lost but fed back into the system." https://newatlas.com/architecture/emporis-skyscraper-award-2020/ 3/10 1/7/2021 Russia's massive Lakhta Center named skyscraper of the year Ad Fremtidens alarmsystem er her Expert Market Læs mere The Leeza Soho is actually two towers joined at several points by skybridges and wrapped in one glazed shell Hufton + Crow Coming in second place, Zaha Hadid Architects' Leeza Soho is one of the xrm's xnest works to date.

The skyscraper is part of the huge Hudson Yards construction project that includes Heatherwick Studio's amazing Vessel. It rises to a height of 1,010 ft (307 m) and its interior is mostly ofxce space, with the exception of a stunning viewing point near its top named the Edge.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 10:52 PM One builds up when there is no room to build out. It’s why the skyscraper was invented in Chicago a hundred and forty years ago. As such, to give an award, or even commend, a building as utterly pointless in utility as the Lakhta Center, which is conspicuously surrounded by immense tracts of fallow land, undermines the history and purpose of high-rise architecture, irrespective of the novelty of its perceived design.

Ali2 1Urban Planning and Policy Department, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL 60607, USA 2School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA Abstract There is much architectural and engineering literature which discusses the virtues of exterior bracing and diagrid systems in regards to sustainability - two systems which generally reduce building materials, enhance structural performance, and decrease overall construction cost. By surveying past, present as well as possible future towers, this paper examines another attribute of these structural systems - the blend of structural functionality and aesthetics. Given the external nature of these structural systems, diagrids and exterior bracings can visually communicate the inherent structural logic of a building while also serving as a medium for artistic effect.

  • 10 Buildings That Redefined Their Cities
    10 Buildings That Redefined Their Cities In the 30 years since the first issue of Azure, we’ve seen a boom in paradigm­shifting architecture. Here are 10 of the best buildings – à la Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao – that prove how cities can be dramatically transformed by architecture. (http://www.azuremagazine.com/wp­content/uploads/2015/02/Paris_Grande_Arche.jpg) 1 La Grande Arche de la Défense, Paris, by Johann Otto von Spreckelsen (1989) In the mid­1960s, Paris planners broke with the city’s architectural traditions to establish a new downtown economic hub, resulting in Tour Montparnasse, a monolithic skyscraper quickly condemned as a visual blight on an otherwise picturesque skyline. So the stakes were high when, two decades later, President François Mitterand launched a competition for a structure that would anchor an all­new economic hub in the city’s less developed northwest corner. Johann Otto von Spreckelsen’s winning concept opened in 1989, two years after the architect’s death, extending the string of landmarks aligned with the Champs Elysées, from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe. The white window­ like box of La Grande Arche soon began to draw the energy of the city towards its far­flung district, enticing new hotels and corporate towers like a feeder attracting birds. Today, La Défense is a thriving financial centre: Morphosis’s sinuous Phare tower (http://morphopedia.com/projects/phare­tower) is currently under construction right next door. (http://www.azuremagazine.com/wp­content/uploads/2015/02/Church­of­Light­by­Tadao­Ando.jpg) 2 Church of the Light, Osaka, Japan, by Tadao Ando (http://www.tadao­ando.com/index_eng.html) (1989) Tadao Ando has earned accolades for various reasons, which include bringing global attention to Japan’s post­war architecture and its refined minimalism, and turning reinforced concrete into architectural poetry (http://www.azuremagazine.com/article/tadao­andos­concrete­poetry/).

  • Vertical Velocity: Taiwan Home to World's Fastest Elevators
    ___________________________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Vertical Velocity: Taiwan Home to World's Fastest Elevators Hamburg, January 23, 2013 – The elevators currently the fastest in the world were manufactured by the Japanese corporation Toshiba. Passengers are catapulted at a speed of 1,010 meters per minute, or 60 km/h, from the fifth to the 89th floor of Taipei 101. The ride in this Ferrari among elevators lasts a mere 37 seconds, at the end of which passengers step out already 382 meters above the ground at the observation floor of Taiwan's tallest building. Elevator speeds researched by Emporis, the international building-data provider (www.emporis.com ), emphasize the pole position of the elevators in Taipei 101 : the world's second-fastest, located in the Yokohama Landmark Tower , "only" manages a speed of 750 meters per minute. The world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa , only occupies third place in the list, with a maximum elevator speed of 36 km/h. The skyscraper of superlatives does however offer the world's fastest double- decker elevators. What is more, the double-deckers' passengers are also able to travel the longest distance currently possible in an elevator, exiting after a ride of 504 meters at the world's highest stop, 638 meters up the building. Overall, the race for the world's fastest elevator is clearly being run in Asian cities. The elevators in Chicago's John Hancock Center are the only ones not in Asia. What is more, 2014 will see a further attraction added to the continent: the elevators that Mitsubishi is set to install in the Shanghai Tower will take over as the world's fastest at a speed of 64.8 km/h.

  • The Most Anticipated Buildings Set to Shape the World in 2019
    The most anticipated buildings set to shape the world in 2019 January 7, 2019 | By Stella Ko Last year was a remarkable one for architecture -- China built more skyscrapers than the rest of the world combined, an In- dian architect won the Pritzker Prize for the fi rst time and a housing complex for the elderly was named "World Building of the Year." But 2019 is also set to impress, with a number of groundbreak- ing designs and engineering feats due to complete around the world this year. Beijing will open its new Zaha Hadid-designed airport, Johannesburg will welcome Africa's new tallest tower and the world's largest underwater restaurant will fi nally open its doors to diners. From New York to Beijing, these are the most anticipated struc- tures set to complete or open in 2019. 30 Hudson Yards, New York At 1,296 feet tall, 30 Hudson Yards will become the second-tall- est offi ce building in New York when it completes later this year. It is also set to open the city's highest outdoor observa- tion deck, which will stand taller than the Empire State Building. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the angular, glass-covered tower will serve as a new home for WarnerMedia and its sub- sidiaries HBO, CNN, Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros. Under, Lidnesnes, Norway Sitting 16 feet beneath the surface of the North Sea, Under is set to become Europe's first -- and the world's largest -- underwater restaurant. Designed by Norwegian firm Snøhetta, the 110-foot-long structure will be able to accommodate around 100 guests across three floors, offering panoramic views of the surrounding waters.
