Both developments represent luxury apartment living with the very best in location, features and appliances. Creating environmentally sound and energy efficient apartments was crucial to Sunland’s architects. With this in mind, Sunland commissioned APA Group to supply natural gas to the developments for cooking and water heating. The APA Group Solution: The APA Group installed a gas network to provide gas to cook-tops in the Q1 and Circle on Cavill apartments. They also installed centralised equipment known as Serviced Hot Water Systems, to provide a continuous central hot water supply to the apartments. Natural gas used in cooking and water heating applications is highly efficient, reliable and delivers the best possible energy rating – saving the environment and the household budget. Residents have commented on the effectiveness of the gas cook-tops while the energy efficiency and saving benefits are highly attractive to buyers.

In this article there discusses the question of advisability high- rise construction, the reasons for its use, both positive and negative sides of it. On the one hand, a number of authors believe that it is difficult to avoid high-rise construction due to the limited areas in very large cities. On the other hand, a number of other authors draw attention to the problems associated with high-rise construction. The author of the article analyses examples of high-rise construction in several countries (UAE, Dubai "Burj Khalifa"; Japan "Tokyo Sky Tree"; United States of America, "Willis Tower"; Russia "Federation Tower") and proves the advisability of high-rise construction in the city. 1 Introduction Nowadays high-rise construction is becoming more and more actual in the world. This is due to the fact the urbanization urban space is increasing and there is also accelerated development of construction technologies and technology of engineering support of buildings. As it was considered in USSR and then in Russia, high-rise buildings have height of 75 m that is more 25 floors. As for other countries, high-rise buildings have height from 35 to 100 metres.

The Design of Akhmat Tower
E3S Web of Conferences 33, 01022 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20183301022 HRC 2017 The Design of Akhmat Tower Sara Beardsley1, Alejandro Stochetti1, and Marc Cerone1 1Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, 111 West Monroe, Suite 2300, Chicago, Illinois 60603, USA Abstract. Akhmat Tower is a 435m supertall building designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture. It is currently under construction in the city of Grozny, in the Chechen Republic, in the North Caucasus region of Russia. The design of the tower was done during a collaborative process by a multi-disciplinary architectural and engineering team, based primarily in the United States and Russia. During this process, the designers considered many factors including, most primarily, the cultural and historical context, the structural requirements given the high seismicity of the region, and the client’s programmatic needs. The resulting crystalline-shaped tower is both an aesthetic statement and a performative architectural solution which will be a new landmark for Chechnya. “The Design of Akhmat Tower” describes in detail the design process including structural considerations, exterior wall design, building program, interior design, the tuned mass damper, and the use of building information modeling. 1 Introduction In 2014, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) was commissioned to design a signature tower adjacent to the Suzha river in Grozny, Chechnya - a Republic of Russia located in the north Caucasus region near the Caspian Sea. This tower is to be a new icon specifically for the region – and is named after the first President of Chechen Republic, Akh- mat Haji Kadyrov [1]. The design was done by a team of over one hundred people, based primarily in the United States and Russia, and utilized expertise from architects and engineers with vast experience in super-tall building design.

These are the 5 directional colors called ‘o-bang-saek’ in Korean. Based on Yín-Yáng Schòol, our ancestors prayed for good luck and thought those colors even drove bad forces out. To Koreans, o-bang-saek is more than just a combination of colors. It is meaningful in various areas such as space, philosophy, wisdom, etc. While o-bang-saek is representative color of Korea, the space representing Korea is the Hangang (river). Having been the basis of people’s livelihood, the Hangang flows through the heart of Seoul and serves as the space linking nature, the city and human beings.

THE SHANGHAI TOWER Reviewing Key Structural Design Components
MEGATALL STRUCTURES: THE SHANGHAI TOWER Reviewing Key Structural Design Components by JOSEPH M. KAUFMAN JR. University of Cincinnati Civil Engineering Student Personal Visit to Shanghai, China June 2017 Kaufman 1 Abstract Megatall skyscrapers are a prominent staple in many countries around the world. Standing at over 2,000 feet tall, the Shanghai Tower boasts the tallest building in China and is the 2nd tallest building in the world (MASS). As with any megatall structure, the Shanghai Tower has overcome a variety of unique design challenges. Introduction The Shanghai Tower is unlike any other megatall skyscraper built in the world. Standing proud along the city skyline, it vertically transforms S zones, the building creatively turns a horizontal city into a vertical metropolis. The 127 stories are divided among the nine zones of 12 to 15 floors each and include retail, office and hotel space as well as an observation deck (CIM). Special to the Shanghai Tower is its double-shell design. The exterior glass curtain wall acts as an oversized skin interior skeleton and provides plenty of community green space and common atriums for meetings and socials. These shared interior spaces provide a welcoming environment for the occupants as well as the ability to achieve LEED Gold Certification (Singh). Building 2,000 feet into the sky requires experienced and skilled engineers, and ingenious structural designers. Design engineers had to consider challenging wind load conditions, develop a composite structural core, and manage building sway. Figure 1. These sketches show the building interior and exterior working together. Notice the double- shell design in the Sectional View of the Tower.
