架构师提供的文本描述。上海塔是为拥抱和刺激城市生活而设计的。然而，这座塔不是横贯整个城市的公园，而是提供垂直堆叠的聚集空间。这些是创新的天空花园，使这座建筑有别于任何一座曾经建造过的高层建筑。上海大厦强调公共空间，将商店、餐馆和城市设施设在中庭层，为在超高层塔楼中生活和工作提供了新的体验。

Text description provided by the architects. Vertical Urbanism.Shanghai Tower is designed to embrace and stimulate the life of the city. Yet, instead of parks spread horizontally across the city, the tower provides gathering spaces stacked vertically. These are the innovative sky gardens that set the building apart from any highrise ever built. By emphasizing public space and locating shops, restaurants and urban amenities at the atrium levels, Shanghai Tower provides a new experience for living and working in super tall towers.

为什么是这个形状？Gensler的设计团队预计，三项关键策略-塔的非对称形状、渐细的轮廓和圆角-将使该建筑能够抵御上海常见的台风风向。

Why this shape? Gensler’s design team anticipated that three key strategies—the tower’s asymmetrical form, its tapering profile and its rounded corners—would allow the building to withstand the typhoon-force winds that are common in Shanghai.

通过在加拿大实验室进行的风洞试验，Gensler和结构工程师ThorntonTomasetti改进了塔的形状，使建筑的风荷载降低了24%。其结果是一个更轻的结构，节省了5800万美元的昂贵材料。(鼓掌)

Using wind tunnel tests conducted in a Canadian lab, Gensler and structural engineer Thornton Tomasetti refined the tower’s form, which reduced building wind loads by 24 percent. The result is a lighter structure that saved $58 million in costly materials.

外皮。建造以前从未设想过的复杂建筑形状需要最创新的工具。由20，000块幕墙面板(包括7，000多个独特形状)设计的立面很难想象使用传统的计算机辅助设计工具。然而，使用参数化软件，Gensler能够创建一个兼顾性能、可构造性、维护和设计的系统。精确的公差是通过在现场放置激光来测量的。

The Outer Skin. Constructing a complex building shape that had never before been conceived required the most innovative tools. Designed with 20,000 + curtain wall panels—including more than 7,000 unique shapes—the façade would have been challenging to envision using traditional computer-aided design tools. With parametric software, however, Gensler was able to create a system that balances performance, constructability, maintenance and design. Precise tolerances were achieved by placing lasers on the site to take measurements.
