Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Georges Binder The “International” Skyscraper: Observations While using tall buildings data, the following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.

Architectural Science Review www.arch.usyd.edu.au/asr Volume 50.3, pp 205-223 Invited Review Paper Structural Developments in Tall Buildings: Current Trends and Future Prospects Mir M. Ali† and Kyoung Sun Moon Structures Division, School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA †Corresponding Author: Tel: + 1 217 333 1330; Fax: +1 217 244 2900; E-mail: [email protected] Received 8 May; accepted 13 June 2007 Abstract: Tall building developments have been rapidly increasing worldwide. This paper reviews the evolution of tall building’s structural systems and the technological driving force behind tall building developments. For the primary structural systems, a new classification – interior structures and exterior structures – is presented. While most representative structural systems for tall buildings are discussed, the emphasis in this review paper is on current trends such as outrigger systems and diagrid structures. Auxiliary damping systems controlling building motion are also discussed. Further, contemporary “out-of-the-box” architectural design trends, such as aerodynamic and twisted forms, which directly or indirectly affect the structural performance of tall buildings, are reviewed. Finally, the future of structural developments in tall buildings is envisioned briefly. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Building forms, Damping systems, Diagrid structures, Exterior structures, Interior structures, Outrigger systems, Structural performance, Structural systems, Tall buildings Introduction Tall buildings emerged in the late nineteenth century in revolution – the steel skeletal structure – as well as consequent the United States of America. They constituted a so-called glass curtain wall systems, which occurred in Chicago, has led to “American Building Type,” meaning that most important tall the present state-of-the-art skyscraper.

The Helicoidal Skyscrapers’Geometry Alessandra CAPANNA Dipartimento di Architettura e Progetto “Sapienza” Università di Roma Via Flaminia 359 - 00196 Roma, ITALY E-mail: [email protected] Mauro FRANCAVIGLIA Marcella G. LORENZI Dipartimento di Matematica, Laboratorio per la Comunicazione Scientifica Università di Torino Università della Calabria Via Carlo Alberto,10 - 10123 Torino, ITALY Cubo 30b, 87036 Arcavacata di Rende CS, E-mail: [email protected] ITALY E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Expressionist utopia of an Architect imitating the rigorous and -at the same time- extremely bizarre formative principles of Nature, linked with the engineering “must” of a coherent and correct structure are apparent antithesis if only played as the manifestation of an irrational and uncontrolled freedom. We explore the ancient idea of Harmony and Beauty and the historical confidence in the logarithmic spiral as the symbol of perfection in an un- built project for a 565 m (1,854 ft) high skyscraper that was supposed to be built on the tip of Manhattan, NYC. The role of geometry is no more exploited as an instrument for controlling architectural form, but for its liberation: the project for a helicoidal skyscraper consisted of a succession of warped wings developed on the layout of the logarithmic spiral. The helicoidal shape, works better than the others in splitting up the force of the wind in resistance, has a positive influence on the stability of the building and is the result of a strong design theory wondering about the power of invention, the power of geometry, the power of relationships among numbers, and finally the beauty of (deriving from) mathematics (in Architecture).

  • From Troubled to Trophy: the Turnaround of Chicago's Oneeleven
    From Troubled to Trophy: The Turnaround of Chicago’s OneEleven August 14, 2015 | By Ryan Ori When Chicago’s OneEleven apartment development sold for a record price earlier this year, it marked the second notable achievement for the project. Before the $328 million sale, mere completion of the 60-story build- ing had erased an eyesore from one of the Loop’s most visible walls of trophy towers. Chicago-based real estate investment management firm Heitman paid $651,000 per unit for the building along the Chicago River, a city record. That January sale by Related Midwest is even more remarkable considering that just a few years earlier, the property at Wacker Drive and Clark Street stood as a constant reminder of a real estate development pipeline that had dried up during the recession. From 2008 to 2012, a 27-story concrete skeleton lurked over office workers and tourists walking along the Chica- go River. A previous developer’s plan to construct the city’s fifth-tallest skyscraper—90 stories of luxury condo- miniums and a hotel—was halted after efforts to secure a construction loan stalled. “It was a pretty palpable sign of the downturn,” says Curt Bailey, president of Related Midwest, an affiliate of New York City–based Related Companies. “It basically said, ‘The city is not viable for development, and we’ve got failure on our face.’ The architecture boat tours go right by there, and they were basically staring at it.” Nine years elapsed between the ground breaking by the initial development venture, an affiliate of Chicago-based engineering firm Teng & Associates, and the record sale by Related.

The site is a National Historic Landmark. Credit: Mike Walker, Kincaid Mounds Support Organization • Why it is endangered: Lack of funding, soil erosion and the ongoing threat of amateur archaeologists disturbing the mounds. Almost one thousand years ago, during the Middle Mississippian period, Mississippian people began building a settlement at the site that is now known as Kincaid Mounds. Today, however, flooding and limited funding is threatening the survival of this prehistoric resource.
