  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous
    City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous What’s Your City’s Claim to Fame? By Jeff Coy, ISHC Paris was the world’s most-visited city in 2010 with 15.1 million international arrivals, according to the World Tourism Organization, followed by London and New York City. What’s Paris got that your city hasn’t got? Is it the nickname the City of Love? Is it the slogan Liberty Started Here or the idea that Life is an Art with images of famous artists like Monet, Modigliani, Dali, da Vinci, Picasso, Braque and Klee? Is it the Cole Porter song, I Love Paris, sung by Frank Sinatra? Is it the movie American in Paris? Is it the fact that Paris has numerous architectural icons that sum up the city’s identity and image --- the Eiffel Tower, Arch of Triumph, Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and Palace of Versailles? Do cities need icons, songs, slogans and nicknames to become famous? Or do famous cities simply attract more attention from architects, artists, wordsmiths and ad agencies? Certainly, having an architectural icon, such as the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, put Paris on the world map. But all these other things were added to make the identity and image. As a result, international tourists spent $46.3 billion in France in 2010. What’s your city’s claim to fame? Does it have an architectural icon? World’s Most Famous City Icons Beyond nicknames, slogans and songs, some cities are fortunate to have an architectural icon that is immediately recognized by almost everyone worldwide.

  • Tokyo's Skytree Tower, Simply Awesome
    LIVING Tokyo’s Skytree tower, simply awesome TOKYO, Japan: ROM THE outside, the Tokyo Skytree tower in FJapan stands almost iso- lated. At 634 -metres, it is the world’s tallest radio transmission tower dwarfing some of its contempo- raries – the 600-metre tower in Canton, China, the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada (553 metres), and even the world-famous Eiffel Tower (324 metres) in Paris, France. At its highest point, the outside air temperature is 5 degrees Celsius. The tower was built after high-rise construction negatively affected the transmission of radio and television waves across the city, and opened in 2012. On the day I visited as a part of a group of journalists, wide sheets of slow moving wispy clouds seemed to hug the area around the tower. Regardless, by the time we had got to the 450 meter mark up the tower, the view below was still spectacular. Tokyo lay below us like tiny pieces of a jigsaw puzzle or a miniature toy town set and we were in awe.

  • The Levitating Ring Restaurant Tower Jaacov Bloch, Yossi Amir*, Guy Austern
    The Levitating Ring Restaurant Tower Jacob Bloch1), *Yossi Amir2) and Guy Austern3) 1) Department of Civil Engineering, Ariel University, Ariel, Israel 2) Faculty of Architecture, Technion, Israel Institution of Technology, Haifa, Israel 3) Faculty of Architecture, Technion, Israel Institution of Technology, Haifa, Israel 2) [email protected] ABSTRACT The Levitating Ring Restaurant Tower is an architectural engineering innovation which enables the construction of a tower in which a slender mast (D=5m) and a system of pre-stressed cables (bundles of wires), reciprocally work together to ensure the stability of the entire tower system which rises to the height of 600 meters (higher configurations may also be designed).The structure includes a levitating ring restaurant, which takes part in ensuring the tower’s stability. While this remarkable height is in fact 10% greater than that of Toronto CN TOWER, the total mass of the structure is approximately only 1/6 of its Toronto predecessor. The capacity of the restaurant located in the tower's levitating ring (approx. 1800) is four and a half times greater than that of the CN TOWER with all the tables offering first- row window views. The proposed structure is unique, as its only compressed elements are the central mast and the ring, while all the others are tension elements (the buckling preventing elements included). These facts also influence the price of Fig. 1: The Levitating Ring Tower the tower to be much less than that of similar towers. Comparison with more high towers, as well as selected detail of the connectors and a possible method of construction will be described below.
