塔组成

Tower Composition

上海大厦由九座圆柱形建筑组成，一座堆放在另一座上。双层外墙的内层覆盖着堆叠的建筑，而外墙则创造了建筑的围护结构，它在上升时旋转120度，使上海大厦呈现出独特而弯曲的外观。两层立面之间的空间构成了九个中庭空中花园。就像传统城市里的广场和广场一样，上海大厦内的公共天空为人们提供了与餐馆、咖啡店和便利店的互动和社区聚集空间，以及整个城市的繁茂景观。随着天空花园的周界，上海大厦实际上是被包围在公共空间。

Shanghai Tower is organized as nine cylindrical buildings stacked one atop the other. The inner layer of the double-skin façade encloses the stacked buildings, while the exterior façade creates the building envelope, which rotates 120 degrees as it rises and gives Shanghai Tower its distinctive, curving appearance. The spaces between the two façade layers create nine atrium sky gardens. Much like plazas and civic squares in traditional cities, the public sky atria offer spaces within Shanghai Tower for interaction and community gathering space with restaurants, cafés, coffee shops and convenience stores, as well as lush landscaping throughout. With sky gardens lining its perimeter, Shanghai Tower is literally enveloped in public spaces.

上海大厦的内部和外部皮肤都是透明的，在大厦内部和上海的城市结构之间建立了一种视觉联系。在地面层面，零售和活动空间，以及大量的入口和建筑下的地铁站，继续保持塔与城市之间的物理和视觉联系。

Shanghai Tower’s interior and exterior skins are transparent, establishing a visual connection between the tower’s interiors and the urban fabric of Shanghai. On the ground level, retail and event spaces, in tandem with abundant entrances on the site and a subway station under the building, continue the physical and visual connections between the tower and the city.

上海塔将拥有世界上最快的电梯，三菱设计的双层计程车以每小时40英里的速度将大楼内的乘客和游客以每小时40英里的速度飞升，使用专门为该塔设计的创新技术。

Shanghai Tower will have the world’s fastest elevators, with the Mitsubishi-designed, double-height cabs whisking building occupants and visitors skyward at 40 mph using innovative technologies designed specifically for the tower.

可持续发展战略

Sustainable Strategies

可持续性是上海大厦设计的核心。外观的锥度、质地和不对称性共同作用，将建筑的风荷载降低了24%，在整体建筑材料上节省了5800万美元。建筑物的透明内外表皮允许最大的自然日光，从而减少了对电灯的需要。塔的外皮也隔离了建筑物，减少了加热和冷却所需的能源。塔的螺旋护栏收集雨水，这是用于塔的供暖和空调系统。

Sustainability is at the core of Shanghai Tower’s design. The façade’s taper, texture and asymmetry work in partnership to reduce wind loads on the building by 24 percent, offering a $58 million USD savings in overall building materials. The building’s transparent inner and outer skins admit maximum natural daylight, thereby reducing the need for electric light. The tower’s outer skin also insulates the building, reducing energy use for heating and cooling. The tower’s spiraling parapet collects rainwater, which is used for the tower’s heating and air conditioning systems.

位于栏杆正下方的风力涡轮机为大楼上层提供现场电力，现场有一个2，130 kW的天然气热电联产系统，为底层提供电力和热能。完整的三分之一的网站将是绿地与绿化，以冷却网站。总体而言，上海大厦的可持续发展战略将使该建筑的碳足迹每年减少3.4万吨；该大厦的目标是美国绿色建筑委员会(U.S.Green BuildingCouncil)和中国绿色建筑三星级(China Green Building三星级)颁发的LEED黄金认证。

Wind turbines located directly beneath the parapet generate on-site power for the upper floors of the building, with a 2,130kW natural gas-fired cogeneration system on site providing electricity and heat energy to the lower floors. Fully one third of the site will be green space with landscaping that cools the site. Overall, Shanghai Tower’s sustainable strategies will reduce the building’s carbon footprint by 34,000 metric tons per year; and the tower is targeting LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and the China Green Building Three Star rating.

“随着上海大厦的拔地而起，陆家嘴三人将成为我们过去、现在和中国无边无际未来的惊人代表，”上海大厦设计负责人、Gensler校长夏军表示。“这座塔从上海的公园和社区传统中汲取灵感，以高密度的城市形式再现了这段历史，象征着现代上海和中国的崛起。”

“With the topping out of Shanghai Tower, the Lujiazui trio will serve as a stunning representation of our past, our present and China’s boundless future,” said Jun Xia, Shanghai Tower design leader and Gensler principal. “This tower takes inspiration from Shanghai’s tradition of parks and neighborhoods, recasting that history in a high-density, urban form symbolizing the emergence of modern Shanghai and China.”
