Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Georges Binder The “International” Skyscraper: Observations While using tall buildings data, the following paper aims to show trends and shifts relating to building use and new locations accommodating high-rise buildings. After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

A four-sided, pyramidal shape interacts gracefully with an eight-sided geometry at the base. The mixed program, complex geometry, and high seismic and wind conditions of the region demand a sophisticated design response, particularly in terms of the façade Alejandro Stochetti Marc Cerone and the structural engineering, in order to achieve a coherent, crystalline form.

  • 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.

  • 10 Buildings That Redefined Their Cities
    10 Buildings That Redefined Their Cities In the 30 years since the first issue of Azure, we’ve seen a boom in paradigm­shifting architecture. Here are 10 of the best buildings – à la Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao – that prove how cities can be dramatically transformed by architecture. (http://www.azuremagazine.com/wp­content/uploads/2015/02/Paris_Grande_Arche.jpg) 1 La Grande Arche de la Défense, Paris, by Johann Otto von Spreckelsen (1989) In the mid­1960s, Paris planners broke with the city’s architectural traditions to establish a new downtown economic hub, resulting in Tour Montparnasse, a monolithic skyscraper quickly condemned as a visual blight on an otherwise picturesque skyline. So the stakes were high when, two decades later, President François Mitterand launched a competition for a structure that would anchor an all­new economic hub in the city’s less developed northwest corner. Johann Otto von Spreckelsen’s winning concept opened in 1989, two years after the architect’s death, extending the string of landmarks aligned with the Champs Elysées, from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe. The white window­ like box of La Grande Arche soon began to draw the energy of the city towards its far­flung district, enticing new hotels and corporate towers like a feeder attracting birds. Today, La Défense is a thriving financial centre: Morphosis’s sinuous Phare tower (http://morphopedia.com/projects/phare­tower) is currently under construction right next door. (http://www.azuremagazine.com/wp­content/uploads/2015/02/Church­of­Light­by­Tadao­Ando.jpg) 2 Church of the Light, Osaka, Japan, by Tadao Ando (http://www.tadao­ando.com/index_eng.html) (1989) Tadao Ando has earned accolades for various reasons, which include bringing global attention to Japan’s post­war architecture and its refined minimalism, and turning reinforced concrete into architectural poetry (http://www.azuremagazine.com/article/tadao­andos­concrete­poetry/).

  • Free Forms of European Skyscrapers
    ZNUV 2019;66(3);31-40 31 Joanna Pietrzak, Anna Stefańska Politechnika Warszawska FREE FORMS OF EUROPEAN SKYSCRAPERS Summary One of the advantages of a modern skyscraper is its original form. The determinant of originality is freedom, a departure from rigid rules. The architects ‘play’ with the inspirations in the search for a free form, among others, by entering into dialogue with classic image of a skyscraper, which is reinterpreted or even negated. A large creative potential is associated with a way to define dependence of form and structure. Key words: high-rise building, tall building, skyscraper, Europe, architectural icons, aesthetic expres- sion, game of form and construction. Introduction Over the last 50 years, both the form of a European skyscraper and the social acceptance of such a tall building changed. Skyscrapers have become not only an integral part of the urban surrounding, but also icons of identification of some large cities. The importance of iconic architecture was appreciated after the construction of such objects as the Bilbao museum or the Kunsthaus in Graz. Developers identify the form of the building with a marketing advantage and cooperate with famous architects in order to design original high-rise buildings (Sterlitz 2005). In modern architecture, the originality is determined by the free, i.e. deviating from rules (Słownik Języka Polskiego 2012), form of the building. In searching for such form, archi- tects play with inspirations: they refer to different styles and to unique local conditions. Even 25 years ago, a typical tall building would still be seen as an anonymous workplace. The latest projects are objects of public admiration, oftentimes acting as tourist attractions (Rees et al.

KG, Munich, Germany ABSTRACT • dissemination of odors from the restaurants areas should be prevented; The 'Complex Federation', also known as ‘Federation Tower’ in Moscow, Russia, a 506 m (1,660 ft) tall multi-purpose building consisting of two towers on a common podium, will soon become Europe's tallest building – at least until in 2012 the ‘Russia Tower’ with a height of 612 m (2,009 ft) will be completed. The tower caps of both towers accommodate occupancies which are most exclusive and quite challenging. At the same time the utilization has a diversity that includes wellness and recreation areas, pools, sky gardens, restaurants, VIP lounges and bars – all in one open space and under one common and completely glazed roof. The scope of the analysis presented in this paper was to develop an HVAC concept which guarantees thermal comfort for all these occupancies and utilizations with their different requirements, in summer as well in winter. Based on in depth analyses for the building envelope (e.g. glazing, frames, tightness, solar properties, etc.) with dynamic simulation (TRNSYS 16), the climatic concept has been further analyzed and improved by evaluating and verifying the thermal comfort, i.e. temperatures, humidity and air flow, using computational

Philip Oldfield The year 2008 will long be remembered as the start of an economic crisis that has gripped the entire globe – a year that may also have brought to an abrupt end the worldwide construction boom of the past decade that has seen ever-denser cities containing ever-taller buildings proposed from Madrid to the Middle East, from Shanghai to San Francisco. As financial shock waves have reverberated around the world, high-profile tall building projects in virtually all skyscraper cities have been cancelled, delayed, or put on hold in response to the precarious global economic conditions. The question that everyone is now asking – is this the end of the tall ambitions of places such as Moscow, Chicago or Dubai for the short-mid term future? The Antony Wood correlation between tall buildings and economic recession is not a new one.
