And above all these multi- in high-rise buildings in India especially storied buildings have their downside too. Constructing high could be due to two reasons, either for the ‘Tower Battling’ i.e the desire to rise high or for the ‘Need for Housing’ i.e to fulfill the demand of accommodation. In this article, some of the highrise buildings coming up in India with the involvement of the foreign companies in the form of contractors, consultants or architects in these projects has been discussed. Diamond Tower, Gujarat Designed by ECADI Architects the master planners of many of Shanghai’s newest projects, Diamond Tower was designed as the centerpiece signature tower that will cap the new GIFT CBD Skyline. The tower is called ‘Diamong Tower’ to mark Gujarat state’s eminence as the diamond capital of the world. Diamond Tower is a skyscraper proposed for Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) in Gandhinagar. It is India’s first major supertall Central Business District project that is designed to be the focal point of both the world’s and India’s booming financial service.GIFT will have 312 tall buildings and the tallest being the Signature Diamond Tower. 188 NBM&CW JUNE 2009 cmyk cmyk High Rise Building The tower will be constructed in The tower is designed to convey both phases.

Waves Worli, Mumbai Architect Sanjay Puri designed a beautiful residential skyscraper crowning one side of Mumbai’s Worli sea front. The building form is derived from the outline of the crests of the waves of the sea. Linear undulating balconies traverse the length of this residential apartment building offering unrestricted views of the sea to each of the apartments. Four blocks with apartments varying from 2000 sq.ft. to 6000 sq. ft are connected together rising from 40 storeys towards the land end up to 80 storeys towards the sea front. The fluid balcony decks that undulate along the length extend further out at upper levels to create sky gardens overlooking the sea. The tower is significant not only due to its size, but its location. It will be built in Worli, one of Mumbai’s most expensive neighborhoods, on a piece of land jutting out into the Indian Ocean that will soon be spanned with Mumbai’s massive Bandra-Worli Sealink project.

Ali2 1Urban Planning and Policy Department, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL 60607, USA 2School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA Abstract There is much architectural and engineering literature which discusses the virtues of exterior bracing and diagrid systems in regards to sustainability - two systems which generally reduce building materials, enhance structural performance, and decrease overall construction cost. By surveying past, present as well as possible future towers, this paper examines another attribute of these structural systems - the blend of structural functionality and aesthetics. Given the external nature of these structural systems, diagrids and exterior bracings can visually communicate the inherent structural logic of a building while also serving as a medium for artistic effect.
