  • 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.

This implies that a building should be designed in a way that will allow it to be repurposed when changing circumstances require changes in its layout or function; being energy efficient and environmentally sensitive is not enough. The building also needs to be financially viable and the people whose lives are impacted by it should wish to have it retained. As far as flexibility of high-rise or skyscraper buildings is concerned, the structural system and layout are some, but not the only aspects that are of particular importance in this regard.

  • Portada CECME 2019
    ENERGY AND CLIMATE FUTURES: GENDER AND LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES ANNUAL EVENT OF THE SPANISH COMMITTEE OF THE WORLD ENERGY COUNCIL CEPSA TOWER OCTOBER 22nd 2019 Organized by: Sponsored by: With the collaboration of: ENERGY AND CLIMATE FUTURES: GENDER AND LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES CEPSA TOWER OCTOBER 22nd 2019 ENERGY AND CLIMATE FUTURES: GENDER AND LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES Introduction The traditional annual event of the Spanish Committee of the World Energy Council (CECME), entitled "Energy and Climate Futures: Gender and Latin American Perspectives", will take place on October 22nd at the Cepsa Auditorium in Madrid. The event - organized together with the Spanish Energy Club and the Elcano Royal Institute, and sponsored by CEPSA- includes this year a plenary session with Mr. Jean-Marie Dauger, new Chair of the World Energy Council since September 2019. As in past editions, the program tackles two main subjects divided in two round tables: Energy and the New Latin American Political Cycle, on one side; and Gender, Climate and Energy, on the other. Both issues need to be analyzed from a global and multidisciplinary perspective. To this end, top panelists - coming from relevant Spanish and international institutions not only in the energy sector but also in the economic, political, and social fields - will participate in the different sessions. Moreover, the leaders of the member companies of CECME will also share their thoughts during the debates. Round Table 1: Energy and the New Latin American Political Cycle Last year, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia inaugurated new presidencies in a significant political shift. Energy, in very different aspects, was at the core of the respective campaigns, which included substantial energy policy reforms.

  • International Property Handbook: 2017 Trends and a Look Back at 2016 April 2017 Introduction
    International Property Handbook: 2017 trends and a look back at 2016 April 2017 Introduction Dear Colleague, The International Property Handbook from Deloitte’s Global Real Estate & Construction group tracks the flows of real estate capital and provides an overview of investment trends and key deals in the most active global real estate investment markets. This handbook reflects back on 2016 analyzing economic data and real estate investment in 21 countries around the world to provide insights on potential trends in 2017. With a strong economic outlook, we saw increases in cross-border investment, yet the overall global transaction volume was around the same as it was in 2015. Private and unlisted funds were the most active investors followed by institutional funds, indicating the large amount of private capital available to be deployed to real estate investment. Given many of the investors still have significant amounts of capital to deploy, and the fundraising market for real estate investment remains strong, we believe that these trends indicate strong growth in the industry moving forward. Large institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds have been initiating or increasing capital allocations to global real estate investments, and we believe that will help sustain real estate investment activity into 2017 and beyond. Our analysis also indicates that while many of the largest real estate investment markets have fully (or nearly fully) recovered from the global financial crisis, other markets are in earlier stages of recovery, indicating potential opportunities for 2017 and beyond. We hope you find this report interesting. We would be delighted to discuss the details of this research with you and how it may impact your business.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Philip Oldfield; Bronte Doherty Architecture/Design Offset Cores: Trends, Drivers and Frequency in Tall Buildings Abstract This research explores the trends, drivers and frequency of offset cores in the world’s tallest buildings. It charts the history of tall building layouts, exploring the motivation behind offset-core morphologies emerging in the second half of the 20th century. Drawing from the literature, it then provides a definition for central, perimeter, mixed and offset cores, allowing for the categorization of the future 500 Dr. Philip Oldfield Bronte Doherty tallest buildings in terms of core position. It also identifies the tallest 20 buildings in the world with offset cores. The Hanking Center Tower in Shenzhen, at 358.9 meters Authors in height, was confirmed as the world’s tallest building with an offset core, as of the Dr. Philip Oldfield, Director of the Architecture Program end of 2018.

    ENERGY FUTURES: THE MIDDLE EAST AND REGIONAL ENERGY TRANSITIONS ANNUAL EVENT OF THE SPANISH COMMITTEE OF THE WORLD ENERGY COUNCIL CEPSA TOWER SEPTEMBER 25TH 2018 Organized by: Sponsored by: With the collaboration of: ENERGY FUTURES: THE MIDDLE EAST AND REGIONAL ENERGY TRANSITIONS INTRODUCCTION Introduction The traditional annual event of the Spanish Committee of the World Energy Council (CECME), entitled “Energy futures: the Middle East and regional energy transitions”, will take place on September 25th at the Cepsa Auditorium in Madrid. The event - organized together with the Spanish Energy Club and the Elcano Royal Institute, and sponsored by CEPSA includes this year a plenary session with HE Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo, Secretary General of OPEC. As in past editions, the program tackles two main subjects - geopolitics in the Middle East and North Africa, and energy transitions in different regions of the world -, which need to be analyzed from a global and multidisciplinary perspective. To this end, top panelists - coming from relevant Spanish and international institutions not only in the energy sector but also in the economic, political, and social fields - will participate in the different sessions. Moreover, the leaders of the member companies of CECME will also share their thoughts during the debates. Round Table 1: Middle East and North Africa geopolitics The new oil price cycle partially coincides with political and geopolitical cycles. Price recovery has allowed for a substantial improvement in the main macroeconomic variables in the gas and oil producing countries, thus giving them more fiscal policy space. The consolidation of the alliance between Russia and Saudi Arabia within the OPEC+ has been unaffected by the tension between the two countries over Syria or Iran.

The prolific lacustrine petroleum system of the Lokichar Basin has now yielded around 1 BBO recoverable resources. Figure 1. Block 11A – Regional Setting East Africa Rift System Block 11A is located at the junction of the N-S Tertiary East Africa Rift System (EARS) and the NW- SE trending Cretaceous Rift System (CARS) (figure 1). The existence of both Tertiary and Cretaceous rift basins should not be ruled out, the lack of stratigraphic control in the immediate area should not exclude the possibility of more than one rifting event. The EARS is composed of two rift trends called the Eastern and the Western branches. The Eastern branch is located North and East of the Lake Victoria and corresponds to the volcanic system that forms the Kenya and the Ethiopian Rifts.
