Tall Buildings in Numbers Tall Buildings in Numbers A Look at Occupiable Telecommunication & Observation Towers With the recent completion of two megatall telecommunication/observation towers – Canton Tower in 2010 and Tokyo Sky Tree earlier this year – it is time to review these structures and explain why they are distinguished from buildings in the Council’s official tallest lists (found at www.skyscrapercenter.com). To be considered a “building” a project must achieve three milestones: 1) it must be complete, 2) it must be freestanding and, 3) at least 50% of its height must be occubiable 1 space. While projects like Canton Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree are indeed complete, free standing and partially occupiable – making them distinct from many of the world’s other telecommunication structures – less than 50% of their height is occupiable and thus the projects cannot be considered “buildings.” The following is a study of the world's “supertall” (300 m+) occupiable telecommunication & observation towers (referred to as “occupiable T&O towers” in the study) – some 36 of which now exist in 23 countries around the globe.

  • Star Wars at MT
    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

  • Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings
    buildings Article Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings Jerzy Szolomicki 1,* and Hanna Golasz-Szolomicka 2 1 Faculty of Civil Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 2 Faculty of Architecture, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-505-995-008 Received: 29 July 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 26 August 2019 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide structural and architectural technological solutions applied in the construction of high-rise buildings, and present the possibilities of technological evolution in this field. Tall buildings always have relied on technological innovations in engineering and scientific progress. New technological developments have been continuously taking place in the world. It is closely linked to the search for efficient construction materials that enable buildings to be constructed higher, faster and safer. This paper presents a survey of the main technological advancements on the example of selected tall buildings erected in the last decade, with an emphasis on geometrical form, the structural system, sophisticated damping systems, sustainability, etc. The famous architectural studios (e.g., for Skidmore, Owings and Merill, Nikhen Sekkei, RMJM, Atkins and WOHA) that specialize, among others, in the designing of skyscrapers have played a major role in the development of technological ideas and architectural forms for such extraordinary engineering structures. Among their completed projects, there are examples of high-rise buildings that set a precedent for future development. Keywords: high-rise buildings; development; geometrical forms; structural system; advanced materials; damping systems; sustainability 1.

Paris has a typical Western European oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification: Cfb ) which is affected by the North Atlantic Current. The overall climate throughout the year is mild and moderately wet. The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Constructed in 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France’s leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015.
