Supertall Megatall: How High Can We Go?

Autor Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 noi 2021
Drawing from the unique design experience at Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) as architects of the next world's tallest tower and several others under construction, "Supertall Megatall: How High Can We Go?" highlights the design, sustainability, innovative technology, programming, and contextualism that defines supertall and megatall towers.

The book is a mixture of under construction and design-only projects divided into several chapters that are organized according to their special characteristics: Innovative Systems, Harnessing Energies, Designing an Icon, Extending Ecologies, and Achieving Megatall. Each project, completed between 2007-2020 at AS+GG, is discovered through context, program, form, research and development, and performance, highlighting the stories, challenges, and lessons learned.

Descriere

  • As architects of the next world’s tallest tower and several others now under construction, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture’s Supertall | Megatall: How High Can We Go? draws from projects completed from 2007–2020 to explore the design, sustainability, innovative technology, programming, and site contextualism that defines supertall and megatall towers
  • AS+GG is a leader in supertall building design and technology and have collaborated with clients across the globe to design many of the tallest and highest-performing buildings in the world. AS+GG has designed several highly sustainable supertall and megatall towers that are now under construction including Jeddah Tower, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (1,000+ meters), will be the next tallest building in the world when completed in 2025
  • Of the top 100 supertall and megatall buildings that are built or under construction, the AS+GG team has designed ten buildings: Jeddah Tower (1); Burj Khalifa (2); Wuhan Greenland Center (4); South HeXi Yuzui Tower (15); Central Park Tower (20); Chengdu Greenland Center (21); Zifeng Tower (28); Akhmat Tower (39); Trump Tower (46); Jin Mao Tower (47)

Notă biografică

Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) is dedicated to the design of high-performance, energy-efficient, and sustainable architecture on an international scale. The firm approaches each project, regardless of size or scale, with an understanding that architecture has a unique power to influence civic life. We strive to create designs that aid society, advance modern technology, sustain the environment and inspire those around us to improve our world. We use a holistic, integrated design approach that emphasizes symbiotic relationship with the natural environment -- a philosophy we've termed "global environmental contextualism." This approach, which takes into consideration building orientation, daylighting, generation of wind power, solar absorption, and a site's geothermal properties, represents a fundamental change in the design process, in which form facilitates performance. It's predicated on the understanding that everything within the built and natural environment is connected, and that a building's design should stem from an understanding of its role within that context -- locally, regionally and globally. Such a pluralistic approach acknowledges the interaction among building systems as well as between those systems and the natural environment and seeks to improve each individual system's performance. By using this principle in the design of buildings, we can create structures that not only reduce their negative environmental impact, but in some cases, virtually eliminate it altogether. AS+GG's practice includes designers with extensive experience in multiple disciplines, including technical architecture, interior design, urban planning, and sustainable design. Architects also have expertise in a range of building types, including supertall towers, large-scale mixed-use complexes, corporate offices, exhibition facilities, cultural facilities and museums, civic and public spaces, hotels and residential complexes, institutional projects, and high-tech laboratory facilities. The firm was founded in 2006 by partners Adrian Smith, Gordon Gill and Robert Forest. Today there are 100 employees in offices in Chicago and Beijing.
