Arup provides robust and advanced solutions. Arup has the knowledge and expertise to provide innovative and practical solutions in a holistic approach to design foundations and deep basements with due consideration of the superstructure requirements in respect to difficult geological conditions, site constraints as well as enabling a fast-track construction programme. Arup has developed and led the field in the implementation of shaft-grouting technique in friction barrettes, friction mini-piles, friction pre-bored H-piles as well as friction large diameters bored piles to enhance the pile capacity in Hong Kong and overseas. In close liaison with the government, Arup has also been working towards the adoption and acceptance of revised friction and end-bearing load capacities for foundations rested onto bedrock for structures encompassed by the local building regulations. 6 Marina Bay Sands, Singapore This 15.5ha waterfront resort complex features the world’s longest public cantilever at 200m above ground sitting atop three 55-storey hotel towers. height 207m ©Darren Soh ©Darren Structural engineering Arup structural engineers are at the forefront of realising We are proficient in connecting a diverse range of disciplines to optimise structural efficiency and achieve commercial and environmental sustainability.

We are at the cutting-edge of construction-led design. The use of Building Environment Modelling (BEM) is now commonplace and through 4D interfaces, enables virtual models of buildings to be constructed that facilitate evaluation of erection strategy, sequence and timings. Sustainability is intrinsic to our approach to every tall building project. In close collaboration with architects and other engineering professionals, our structural engineers establish optimal building forms that result in better building performance. The economics of tall buildings varies around the world and the international presence of Arup structural engineers enables us to understand the local market conditions and tailor tall building design to best suit the local context. 7 Seismic engineering Arup has unrivalled experience in designing tall buildings that The seismic design of tall buildings poses specific challenges related both to the complex response of tall are both earthquake-tolerant and buildings to ground movement and also the interaction economically feasible. between wind and seismic design requirements. Prescriptive building codes are based on rules for low- to medium-rise buildings that are not directly applicable to tall buildings. Arup has taken a performance-based design approach for decades and has completed projects in many places associated with earthquakes including mainland China, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Turkey, California and Italy. We continue to work on innovative solutions for tall buildings in seismic zones. These include the 217m St Francis Shangri-La Place in Manila which incorporates damped outriggers to control both wind and seismic response. We are now designing towers upwards of 500m in earthquake zones such as the Chow Tai Fook Centre, Guangzhou soaring over 500m. We also take a leading role in the development of design guidance such as the seismic design recommendations by the 2008 Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).

    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 the Design Reconnects Kunming's Pedestrian Pathways As It Nods
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 The design reconnects Kunming’s pedestrian pathways as it nods to the unique landscape of Yunnan Province. New York, New York – February 21, 2020 – Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) recently celebrated the opening of Spring City 66, a mixed-use development in Kunming, China. One of the largest commercial complexes in the city, the 430,000 m2 Spring City 66 is comprised of a retail podium and office tower that are carefully integrating into the surrounding context. Located adjacent to two major pedestrian-friendly boulevards and metro lines, Spring City 66’s accessibility and public amenities weave this high-density, mixed-use destination directly into the urban fabric of Kunming. Design Inspiration The design for Spring City 66 is responds to Yunnan Province’s unique landscape and its location along historic trade routes. A landscaped promenade, reminiscent of the region’s verdant valleys, is central to the project, while the surrounding undulating retail podium and a crag-like tower nod to the nearby Shilin Stone Forest’s notable limestone formations. The project’s varied program weaves along multiple levels of terraces lined with shops and restaurants, creating a vibrant destination for the city. “The KPF design for Spring City 66 illustrates our belief that the most compelling architecture strongly expresses the spirit of its place. Kunming is a city of outdoor life, of vibrant color, and exciting topography. This building reflects that character in the shape of its roofs, and in its facade materials. We worked closely with Hang Lung, as we have previously in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong, to weave together varied activities of working, shopping, and dwelling into one urban hive of activity,” notes KPF President and Design Principal James von Klemperer.

    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.
