tall buildings

Since 1991 von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects (gmp) has completed over 25 high-rise buildings in Europe and Asia, several more are under construction or currently in planning stages. The over 55 projects are ranging from hotels, apartments and office towers to mixed-use multi-tower ensembles connected by public plazas and high-end retail functions in the connecting base. At 415 m our highest tower to date for Nanjing Financial City is projected to be completed in 2024.

Collaborating with strong international engineering partners such as ARUP, WSP, Buro Happold and Jacobs for building structure and building systems (SMEP) gmp has deve- loped a BIM (Building Information Model) planning process and is familiar with emplo- ying other cutting specialty digital modeling tools to control the particular challenges in high-rise design (people flow, wind engineering, security design). LEED and DGNB in-house specialists allow for an integrated design approach and certification along all planning stages. The Deutsche Bank Towers for Frankfurt for example were certified at DGNB Gold level.

The architects of gmp are experienced in aligning client expectations with site opportu- nities - towards iconic sustainable projects on time and on budget.

The site of “Nanjing Financial City – Pha- se II” lies to the south-west of Nanjing’s inner city next to the trade exhibition grounds, and is the key project for linking two urban axes in Nanjing’s expansion area Hexi New Town. The architects were already successful with their design for the first phase of “Nanjing Financial City”, which is now under construction. For phase II of Nanjing Financial City, an ensemble of five high-rise buildings with heights of between 157 m and 415 m is proposed. The master plan provides a 415 m high tower block directly at the crossing point of the “Youth Olympic Club” axis and the “Central Business District” axis, which will create a landmark with a strong re- cognition effect. The 65,000 sqm site will be developed into an urban quarter with Site plan mixed uses, including offices in combinati- on with an upmarket infrastructure for nu- merous conference and meeting facilities, as well as serviced apartments and shops. A green axis, which runs from north to south and crosses the completed Central Business District and both development sites of Nanjing Financial City, divides the overall site of phase II of Nanjing Financi- al City into three parts. On the two outer development sites, high-rise buildings in line with the road layout and the specified building lines are planned. The third area is part of the crossing green axis, creating a breathing canyon in the midst of the high-density high-rise building structure. In order to provide a structure to the ove- rall building volume with its 500,000 m² of net floor area above ground, joints are used to divide the building façades. Verti- cal recesses define the outer shape of the buildings, and horizontal inserts define the functional uses. Four-story structures form the plinths of the outer towers. In the interiors of the respective parts of the site, these plinth buildings are supplemen- ted by three-story retail developments with a small-scale structure. Perforated façades of natural stone slabs in the la- nes and squares generated between these buildings create a pedestrian-friendly and familiar atmosphere of a scale that is re- miniscent of historic inner cities.

The double-tower feature Greenland To- wers terminates the west end of a town axis spanning from a new railway stati- on in the east of the city. The gateway- like, mirror-image twin towers with a height of 284 meters form a vertical contrast to the horizontal shape of the station building. The towers themselves, built on windmill-shaped ground plans, contain not only offices but also a ho- tel, apartments and a business club. Re- volving recesses forming two-story sky lobbies give the towers their distinctive outlines. Site plan

The new Tsingtau Center is located in the heart of the CBD of Qingdao and, with its neighbor to the east, forms a square which opens up to the main road to the north. The base develops on the narrow site in a southerly direction towards the nearby beach, and finishes off with a 172 meters high apartment tower. The cen- tral location of the site and the height of the building mean that the project can be seen from various places throughout the city. The main towers to the north, each 238 meters high, are identical in shape but stand at an angle of 90 degrees to each other in order to emphasize the opening gesture towards the forecourt. At the same time, however, multifaceted urban design references are created. The apartment tower closes off the sculp- tural ensemble towards the south. The entire building complex is perceived as a design unit and is unified to a whole by Site plan the sculpturally treated façade areas and a uniform façade principle. The empha- sis is on the vertical orientation of the buildings, manifested in the continuous lesenes in the façades and the sculptural formation of the tower tops. The tow- ers feature slight recesses in the façade, which are staggered in height, “rotating” around the tower. The recesses are opti- cally reinforced by the fact that the 60 centimeters deep façade louvres end at the recesses and merge into a more ho- mogeneous, flat façade structure. While the towers seem to dissolve towards the top, their bases are “grounded”, so to speak, by closed wall panels clad with local granite. The apartment tower to the south has similar sculptural recesses, but not the deep façade elements, in order to avoid limiting the unique view.

The striking double towers of Deutsche Bank have become an urban-planning icon on the Frankfurt skyline since their completion in 1984. After a three-year program of refurbishment – the largest such program in Europe, involving a to- tal gross floor area of 120,000 m² – the modernized company HQ was reopened in 2011, and sets exemplary ecological standards since, as witness American LEED Platinum certification and German DGNB Gold certification. The energy consumpti- on was halved, water consumption cut by 70 percent and CO² emissions were redu- ced by nearly 90 percent. The entrance to the new Deutsche Bank features the ar- chitectural sculpture of the “Sphere”, a fi- ligree but large entity that symbolizes the Site plan global links of Deutsche Bank.

Site plan

The Poly Plaza project is situated on the prominent shore of the Huangpu Ri- ver in Pudong. One high rise tower and four waterfront buildings with an outer ventilated double façade provide office spaces. The tower is 143 meters high and hosts 30 floors which will partly be occupied by the POLY group. The site is terraced over three levels, giving direct basement access through cut out deep yards leading into the commercial area. The terrace on the second level provides a magnificent outlook on the riverside. The lower waterfront buildings create a rhythm along the shore, which will host a public park and green promenade along the Huangpu.

The new headquarters of the Chinese aircraft manufacturer COMAC are being built on the former EXPO site in Shang- hai, which now serves as Asia’s largest art museum. The building ensemble consisting of a 120 meter-tall main building and three 50 meter-tall ancil- lary buildings will be of steel construc- tion with a reinforced concrete core. Similarly to the very short and tightly scheduled planning phase, construction in this prominent location is progressing rapidly. As the construction site photo shows, the project is already taking on a definite shape. The renderings illustrate how lavishly glazed lobbies in the verti- cally structured stone façade set the tone and provide spectacular views of the Huangpu River.
