Preview the Proceedings The age of the tall building as a single iconic piece of sculpture, standing in isolation from its surroundings, must now come to an end. We have a responsibility to ensure that these permanent urban structures engender a future-oriented urban response to the greatest challenges of our time: unprecedented population growth; mass urbanization; climate change; environmental degradation; social, political and economic change; and the rapid advance of myriad technical innovations. The future of humanity on this planet relies on the collective benefi ts of urban density; reducing both land consumption and the energy needed to construct and operate the horizontally dispersed city. Tall buildings must now be the vehicles for creating increased density not just through sheer height, but by connecting multiple layers of the city. Physical urban infrastructure, circulation, greenery, and urban functions traditionally restricted to the ground level would all, ideally, continue up and into the building, such that the buildings themselves become an extension of the city: a part of the two- dimensional horizontal urban plane fl ipped vertical.

It is expected that even mile-high towers will soon no longer be a dream. Structural systems have always been one of the most fundamental technologies for the dramatic developments of tall buildings. This paper presents structural systems employed for the world’s tallest buildings of different periods since the emergence of supertall buildings in the early 1930s. Further, structural systems used for today’s extremely tall buildings over 500 m, such as core-outrigger, braced mega- tube, mixed, and buttressed core systems, are reviewed and their performances are studied. Finally, this paper investigates the potential of superframed conjoined towers as a viable structural and architectural solution for mile-high and even taller towers in the future. Keywords: Tall buildings, Tallest buildings, Core-outrigger systems, Braced megatubes, Mixed systems, Buttressed core systems, Superframed conjoined towers, Mile-high towers 1. Introduction and the height race was culminated with the 381 m tall 102-story Empire State Building of 1931 also in New York.

We believe that Crown Towers Perth is one of the most luxurious hotels in Australia and the region, and has set a new benchmark in six-star accommodation.

  • Arup: Building the Water Cube
    9-410-054 REV: JUNE 3, 2010 ROBERT G. ECCLES AMY C. EDMONDSON DILYANA KARADZHOVA Arup: Building the Water Cube The Water Cube, as we know it today, is a result of architects and engineers working side by side. Without this collaboration, the Bubble Box would not have been possible. ―Mark Butler, former Associate Director and Senior Design Architect at PTW Architects Landing at Heathrow Airport on June 7, 2009, Arup Principal and Senior Structural Engineer Tristram Carfrae pondered the upcoming dinner for which he had flown over 12,000 miles. Accompanied by four other members of Arup’s Sydney office, Carfrae was in London to attend the Royal Academy of Engineering Awards Dinner where the winner of the 40th annual MacRobert Award was going to be announced. First presented in 1969, the Award was given in recognition of successful development of innovative ideas in engineering and was considered one of the most prestigious awards in the field. The Beijing National Aquatics Center, widely known as the Water Cube, had been one of the four finalists for the award. Engineering firm Arup had designed the Water Cube in partnership with the architecture firm PTW Architects, based in Sydney, and China Construction Design Institute (CCDI). An aquatics center that looked like a box of bubbles, the Water Cube had already won a number of prestigious awards (see Exhibit 1). Its monumental presence in modern Beijing was due to the way in which it reflected Chinese traditions while using natural resources efficiently. Its design goals included environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The structure set new landmarks in the fields of engineering and architecture and challenged conventional thinking that higher quality required larger investments and longer time to design and build.
