The world's first high designer designs Ji'nan's Super Tall Building: cultural flavor.

short years, Ji'nan landmark height has been refreshed repeatedly. At present, the highest building in Ji'nan has exceeded 300 meters. How to achieve sustainable and low-carbon environmental protection in the design and construction of super high-rise buildings in the future? In June 8th, Adrian, the chief designer of the world's first Gaudi tower? Smith is a guest planning forum for the future development of high-rise buildings in Ji'nan.
super high rise design to do a good job of inheriting
"must connect with local culture."
with the continuous advancement of urbanization process, the land resources are becoming more and more scarce, and the development of the city "upward" has become a trend. More and more cities have appeared "super tall buildings". We all want to "seek new and seek differences" in the appearance of buildings, and do well in city landmarks. In architectural design, Adrian has his own idea: we must link with the local culture and attach importance to the inheritance of context.
in 1993, Adrian's team took over the design of Jinmao Tower in Shanghai. "When I take over this design, the first thing I want to think about is where the design inspiration should come from." Adrian said that there was no super high building in China at that time, so the focus of his thinking was on how to make the super high-rise link with Chinese culture and hope it had its own distinctive personality.
after investigation, Adrian found that there were a lot of towers in the history of Chinese architecture. These towers would generally become the local municipal centers, and the width of the tower and the shape of the top of the tower gave him a lot of inspiration. In addition, the Chinese's love for the number 8 and bamboo also gave Adrian some inspiration. Therefore, the Jinmao Tower is finally set up 88 floors, and there are many "8" elements in the building. First, the building has 8 main pillars, 8 secondary columns, the bottom area is 16 layers, and the 52 layers form the just 8 layers of partition, and then gradually collect.
the glass exterior wall of the building is covered with an aluminum coat. It looks like a bamboo jacket and looks like a jacket. Adrian said that Ji'nan is also an ancient city with a long culture. When building super high levels, Ji'nan also needs to combine with local culture to make it characteristic of the city.
reporter learned that the design inspiration of the first high green center in Ji'nan comes from the spring water in Ji'nan, and the overall planning of the project presents the effect of "spring surge". The towers are like springs that spew out, and 7 podium are like pebbles scattered around.
super high rise to make better use of wind energy and solar energy
"super high-rise building in essence is sustainable"
super high rise building, in addition to saving land, realizing the maximum utilization of land resources, more important is how to realize the sustainable utilization of wind and solar energy.
in Adrian's view, super tall buildings are essentially "sustainable" because they can hold more people on smaller land areas, save energy, and become "super sustainable".
"higher altitudes enable them to use faster wind speeds to better absorb solar energy, and deeper foundations make them better using geothermal and radiation cooling systems." Adrian said that skyscrapers can develop many sustainable technologies, and designers must understand all the links with nature in the building.
then he took the Pearl River Building in Guangzhou as an example to give a detailed introduction. They designed the outer surface of the building with a certain degree of arc, the middle of the design of a groove in the area, so that the wind to guide the surface of the outer body into the groove area, and then around the building in turn. The design team has placed four wind turbines in the groove area, and very little wind can also make the generators work.
"this shape can guide the wind to accelerate through the groove area, and its wind speed is about 2.5 times that of the outside." At the same time, Adrian said, they wanted to make use of the non - direct sunlight, so they used a lot of plastic sheet metal to guide the sun to reflect on it and reflect it in a very soft way. The roof is also made of mechanical and electrical materials, so it will heat up and cool down.
Adrian said, Adrian said that the four seasons, cold and cold places, super high-rise buildings can use double curtain wall, cold and hot when it can play the role of energy saving and thermal insulation, like a cover, to keep the temperature of the interior of the building at a constant level.
