  • 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.

  • Leeza Soho Di Zaha Hadid Architects: Le Strutture
    Leeza Soho di Zaha Hadid Architects: le strutture La torre cinese sarà alta 207 m e conterà di 123,740 m2 di superficie distribuiti su 46 livelli fuori terra. Come annunciato, possiederà l’atrio pubblico a tutt’altezza più elevato al mondo, che la attraverserà nella sua sezione longitudinale per ben 190 m. Ecco un focus strutturale dell’opera in costruzione, resa possibile grazie alle dichiarazioni esclusive rilasciate a noi di Ingegneri.info dall’arch. Satoshi Ohashi, Director della sede cinese dello studio di Zaha Hadid Architects e capo-commessa del presente edificio. Il Leeza Soho è un volume unico di forma cilindrica, composto da due torri gemelle tra loro distanziate, ma strutturalmente interconnesse. Ognuna di esse si sviluppa seguendo una dinamica a spirale, ergendosi lateralmente rispetto all’atrio comune di accesso. Tale necessità è dettata dal nuovo tunnel della metropolitana, il cui percorso interrato divide in diagonale l’area del sito, vincolando la torre ad ergersi in due metà separate disposte ai lati del tunnel. Mentre il grattacielo si eleva nel proprio sviluppo altimetrico, l’asse diagonale del tunnel ipogeo viene riallineato “ruotando” l’atrio dell’edificio di 45 gradi, al fine di riallineare i piani superiori dell’atrio con gli assi storici Nord-Sud/Est-Ovest su cui venne fondata la città. La singola torre è definibile come un sistema strutturale a telaio, dato da una struttura mista in acciaio-calcestruzzo per via, anche, delle pareti in cls del proprio core interno. ZHA Leeza SOHO August 2017 photo Yicheng Yang Tre concetti strutturali Il grattacielo combina, al proprio interno, 3 concetti strutturali, di seguito esposti.
