　　The content of this article is organized and released by the editorial department of [China Curtain Wall Network ALwindoor.com]:

　　The skyscraper was born in Chicago, USA in the 1880s. It is one of the representative symbols of capitalist developed countries. With the advent of the era of globalization, the urban planning, development and style of various countries have become increasingly similar. The skyscraper is a symbol of capitalism. The building, in the eastern country, has also become a symbol of the battle for the commanding heights among cities.

　　Counting the rankings of the world's 100 largest skyscrapers over the years, the distribution of skyscrapers on the list most intuitively reflects the economies and urbanization processes of various countries. The biggest change is undoubtedly that China has an astonishing rate of super high-rise buildings. According to CTBUH, among the top ten tallest buildings in the world today, 6 are in China...

　　Then, let’s experience the differences in architectural concepts between the East and the West through the three skyscrapers under construction.

　　498 meters! China International Silk Road Center@西安, known as Chang’an in ancient times, has a glorious history here! The designer of China International Silk Road Center-SOM Architects of the United States, fully absorbed the past story here, and the design concept originated from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and City wall.

　　The glass curtain wall constructed by Zhejiang Yasha Curtain Wall Co., Ltd. won the bid. Its design was inspired by the steps of Lishan. The armor of the ancient warrior and the weapon sword in his hand were partially applied. The overall style made the connection between the heaven and the earth that the ancients longed for. Strongly expressed.

　　The expression of contemporary aesthetics connects the past and the present,The design of China International Silk Road Center in the architectural form shows the understanding of its special geographical location and the inheritance of the local culture and history of Xi'an. The scheme highlights the expression of the ancients' yearning for the connection between heaven and earth through the emphasis of vertical lines. In the details of the façade, through the rich changes in the structure, the image of the terracotta warriors and horses armor is produced, and the silky texture of the Silk Road is also expressed.

　　The design concept of the project is that the skyline of the heritage buildings of Xi'an culture and history is inherited from the skyline of the Dayan Pagoda. It consists of a tallest tower and a number of relatively low buildings, forming a sky that gradually decreases from the center to the sides. Shape, with strong centripetal force. As part of the master plan of the large area, the tower is integrated with the surrounding clusters to form three interconnected blocks and create a connection between Fengdong Avenue and Fuxing Avenue. Upon completion, the International Silk Road Center Tower will become the tallest building in Northwest China.

　　Moscow, the city with the most skyscrapers in Europe, is also one of the cities with the most beautiful skylines in the world.

　　One Tower (443 meters) @ Moscow, designed by Sergey Skuratov Architects. The architect's design is inspired by yacht canvas and airplane wings. The distinctive shape and inclined design of the water chestnut make the building highly recognizable.

　　One Tower will be designed with a sloped prism, and the front will be covered with gradient glass. The entire building area is about 280,000 square meters, with a total of 104 floors (101 floors above ground and 3 floors underground). A total of 1,500 units will be built inside. One Tower will become the first main residential building in the "Moscow City" complex rather than a short-term rental building.

　　Recently, according to the Russian satellite news agency sputniknews, Moscow’s CBD project architect Sergey Skuratov told the satellite news agency that the height of the One Tower currently under construction will reach 443 meters instead of the original plan. 405 meters.

　　One Tower upgrades Moss CBD to a 400-meter level. It has a clean and simple appearance, adopts beveled prisms, and is designed with gradient glass covering the front. After completion, it will enrich the architectural form of the Moscow city complex and become a "cover-level" landmark.

　　Greenland Shandong International Financial Center IFC (428 meters) @济南, also known as Quancheng, prehistoric culture-one of the birthplaces of Longshan culture. Co-designed by the world-renowned architectural firm-SOM and Huihe East China Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., through the investigation of the natural relics of Jinan, the shape of the mountain is used as the blueprint, and the overall appearance is like the stacked rocks of the mountain.

　　This skyscraper is the tallest building in Jinan CBD. It has 88 floors above ground and a total height of 428 meters. Among the five super high-rise "Five Finger Mountains" (mountains, rivers, lakes, springs, and cities) in Jinan CBD, it serves as a "mountain". On behalf of, after completion, it will be the first super high-rise building in Shandong over 400 meters.

　　“Lotus flowers on all sides, three willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city with lakes”-Jinan, the spring city in my impression, never lacks the thickness of history, the temperature of humanities, and the breadth of colors; and the Greenland Shandong International Financial Center (IFC) Skyscraper landmark will bring 428 meters above sea level "new height" to Quancheng. It will also become the "symbol of city" of Jinan in the new era with its extraordinary design concept and unparalleled format composition.

　　111 West 57th Steinway Tower (435 meters) @ New York, the world's largest city. The city has a large number of super high-rise buildings, rich shapes, variability in structure, and complex technology, making it a "museum" of skyscrapers.

　　Comparison of large and small volumes|After nearly a hundred years of rapid expansion, the existing developable land is extremely scarce. Therefore, in recent years, the newly built skyscrapers in New York have become smaller and smaller.

　　　　111 West 57th Steinway Tower is one of them. Its design is inspired by animal feathers, and the facade is decorated with terracotta, which shrinks upwards). It disappears from people’s sight and has a strong impact.

　　This skyscraper designed by SHoP Architects is located in the southern part of New York's Central Park. It has a maximum height of 435 meters and is harmoniously integrated with the historic Steinway Concert Hall next to it. This traditional art building (heritage beaux arts building), originally built in 1925, is one of the most suitable places for listening to music in Manhattan. Nearly a century later, this building named '111 west 57th street' has a traditional New York style. The style is also a tribute to the craftsmanship of the piano maker Steinway.

　　The world’s most slender skyscraper|"Among all the newly built skyscrapers, it is the only one that becomes more and more beautiful as the height rises." It was once evaluated: This 435-meter-high building, The slenderness ratio is about 1:23, and its slender appearance has become the most special curve in the New York city skyline.

　　The main materials of the building skin are: clay, glass and bronze decoration. The façade made of terracotta inlaid with gold and silver wires reproduces the traditional texture and details of the New York building, while at the same time making full use of the latest technology to break the limits of engineering and manufacturing. The facades of the buildings on the north and south sides are covered with glass curtain walls, and the vertical bronze strips decorated on them seem to sprout from the building body and flow freely on the skin. The unique skin design maintains its beauty while maintaining its beauty. It also brings plenty of light to the interior.

　　One after another, the buildings are the people's identification with a city, and they are also a symbol of the city and its density. The story of the Steinway Building is closely related to New York. Many famous pianists have selected pianos in the Steinway Building. This building is historically a landmark of the city and an integral part of the history of music.

　　Moutai Plaza "Moutai Zun" (359 meters) @贵州, invested and built by Moutai Group, is a skyscraper that integrates Chinese wine culture and Guizhou's regional characteristics. Its goal is similar to that of CITIC Tower in Beijing.

　　The "Moutaizun" project is located on the southwest side of the intersection of Changling South Road and Guanshanhu East Road, Guanshanhu District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. It covers an area of 238 acres. Relying on the advantages of cultural resources and transportation resources in Guanshanhu District, the project will build a business, An urban complex integrating offices, hotels, culture and entertainment, and residences.

　　Design concept|Not bad for money!? Moutai——It is water and fire; it is like the world and it is like a fairyland; it is current and historical; it is materialized and cultural; it is flowing with thoughts and feelings Liquid is a fine wine that contains the beauty of harmony and harmony of form and spirit, and is the bottle of oriental jade liquid.

　　There is poetry and cloud-the bottle of jade cong is filled with jade liquid, and the flow of Qujiu sees the fairyland. The main tower of the plan generally combines the jade cong and the bottle to form a tower shape that looks like the jade cong’s bottle is connected to the sky with the sweet syrup and rain. The segmented tower design implies a Chinese dense eaves tower, coupled with the structural form of the mortise and tenon joint, embodies Chinese tradition and culture, and also demonstrates the exquisite elegance of Maotai and the crown of jade liquid.

　　Curtain wall design of the main tower|The seemingly curved glass curtain wall is actually composed of flat glass. Through the ingenious construction method, the problem of waterproof and drainage of the curtain wall is solved, and the unique architectural image of the Chinese dense eaves tower is formed. Straight glass reduces the construction cost of curved glass.

　　"Moutai Bottle" integrates the heritage of wine culture, the modernization of Guizhou's regional characteristics, and the freehand brushwork of traditional Chinese temperament. This super high-rise building was designed and polished for seven years and was completely original by Dai Zejun Studio of China Architecture Standard Design and Research Institute. The start of construction indicates that Guizhou will usher in another new landmark.

　　　　The One Building (308.6 meters) @ Canada, is an old renovation project in Toronto, with an open "zero pollution" design style! Build eight storeys and 416 luxury residential units in a small area, which will become Canada after completion The tallest residence.

　　The One Building is the latest real estate project developed by the well-known Canadian developer MIZRAHI DEVELOPMENTS. It is designed by Foster + Partners. The building is located in the prime location of Yonge & Bloor in Toronto. Residential. This building will become the second tallest outside of Canada's CN Tower, and will undoubtedly become another new landmark in the center of the city.

　　Oriental skyscrapers-pay attention to the regional characteristics of the building, give more traditional cultural elements to the design, and pay attention to height, volume and area. The construction period is easy to be delayed, stagnated, or even unfinished... and once it is completed, it will be a global model, writing a strong and colorful stroke for Chinese architecture in the history of human construction!

　　Western skyscrapers-as the birthplace of modernism and postmodernism, the design style is more bold and innovative, affected by land supply factors, height, volume and area are more restrained. In the past few years, construction has basically stopped. In recent years, I don’t know if it is affected by China. European and American countries have begun to start the construction of skyscrapers. According to the grapevine, many people with yellow skin and black hair are investing. Of course, the construction site is naturally more filled with the four characters "white on blue background-Chinese architecture"...

　　Yesterday, China's curtain wall learned from abroad! From the Great Wall Hotel in Beijing in 1984, the first large-scale use of a reflective glass monolithic curtain wall opened a milestone in the development of China's curtain wall industry.

　　Nowadays, the global curtain wall looks at China! With the rapid development of China's economy, various curtain wall buildings with unique appearance, straight up to the sky, huge volume and complex structure are springing up like bamboo shoots!-Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Financial Center, Qidong City Culture and Sports Center, Shanghai SK Headquarters Building, Xi'an Silk Road International Convention and Exhibition Center, Shanghai Laogang Renewable Energy Utilization Center, Jingxing Marine Building, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank Headquarters Building, Nanning Logan Century, Shenzhen Vanke Binhai Cloud Center, Shanghai Planetarium, Wuhan Fifth Ring Sports Center, Junhao Plaza, Jinsha Lake Hot Spring Resort, Hengfeng Country Garden Guiyang Center, Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Jiufang Shopping Center, Jinjiang Second Sports Center, Jining Culture and Art Center Museum, Shanghai Pudong Football Stadium, Shanghai International Media Port, Zhuhai The birth of projects such as the International Convention and Exhibition Center is the advancement of human architecture as well as the advancement of Chinese architecture.

　　They are an important sign that China's curtain wall development has entered a new era, and it has also witnessed the continuous improvement and continuous improvement of China's curtain wall from design, construction to application. Focusing on high-quality development to create a more beautiful China, all doors, windows and curtain walls have been on the road...
