shanghai tower construction details.

The Shanghai Tower is a 128-story, 632-meter-tall megamall skyscraper located in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai. It is the tallest building in China and the world's third-tallest building by height to architectural top. It is also the tallest and largest LEED Platinum certified building in the world.

The tower was designed by the American architectural firm Gensler, with Shanghainese architect Jun Xia leading the design team. The tower takes the form of nine cylindrical buildings stacked atop each other that total 128 floors, all enclosed by the inner layer of the glass façade. Between that and the outer layer, which twists as it rises, nine indoor zones provide public space for visitors. Each of these nine areas has its own atrium, featuring gardens, cafés, restaurants and retail space, and providing panoramic views of the city.

Here are some of the Shanghai Tower's other notable features:
It has the world's highest observation deck within a building or structure (Level 121, 561.25 m).
It has the world's fastest elevators at a top speed of 20.5 m/s (74 km/h).
It is the first high-rise with a cloud computing system able to serve up to 20,000 people at one time.
The Shanghai Tower is a truly impressive feat of engineering and design, and it is a must-see for any visitor to Shanghai.
