Shanghai Tower
Shanghai
Spiralling 128 floors and 632 metres into the air, this building is the tallest in China and the second tallest in the world. The tower houses offices, shops, a luxury hotel and several cultural attractions, as well as nine atrium “sky gardens” throughout the interior of the building. Sustainability is at the heart of its design and construction: the glass façade allows as much natural light in as possible, the parapet collects rainwater, and the wind turbines located at the top of the tower generate on-site power for most floors.
