The Shanghai Tower project is located at the intersection of Dongtai Road, Yincheng South Road and Huayuan Shiqiao Road in the Z3-2 block of Lujiazui Core area. The block is adjacent to Shanghai World Financial Center in the east and Jinmao Tower in the back. There are many high-rise buildings around the site, which are the resident of many multinational enterprises, listed companies and financial institutions, and also the new landmark of Shanghai, the tallest high-rise in our country.

The appearance of Shanghai Tower selected for the United States Gensler architectural design firm "dragon" scheme, the appearance is like a spiraling dragon, the top of the "dragon tail" upturned, but also like an inverted cloud torch. The cross-section of the Shanghai Tower resembles a triangle, rotating clockwise up and extending to the top, which is designed with an open ceiling.

(2) Truly "green" skyscrapers

In addition to the high design standards, complex structure and difficult construction, the biggest challenge of Shanghai Tower is the proposed three-star green building construction goal. Through site planning and design, energy saving and new energy utilization, water saving and rain sewage reuse, material saving and material utilization and indoor and outdoor environmental control and other special technologies. At the same time, Shanghai Tower is a "green" landmark with great global influence.

2.1 Indoor wind environment design of building groups

Shanghai Tower is located in the Z3 block of Lujiazui Financial Center, which is a very special location. Together with Jinmao Tower and World Financial Center, it forms a super-tall building group in the shape of a square. This particularity poses a great challenge to the wind environment of the pedestrian area around the project. By optimizing the overall shape of the building and using CFD software to comprehensively simulate the site wind environment, the seasonal wind speed in the pedestrian area was finally controlled below 5m/s.

2.2 Light pollution prevention

Super high-rise buildings usually adopt all-glass curtain wall in order to reduce their own weight, but the glass curtain wall is easy to bring light pollution to the surrounding buildings. Shanghai Tower adopts the computer simulation analysis method to analyze the light pollution effect of smooth and receding curtain wall construction. The receding staggered scheme can effectively reduce the number of sensitive targets affected, the number of households and the influence time of each household. Therefore, the building adopts the receding curtain wall construction form to further reduce the light pollution of curtain wall. The curtain wall glass is made of glass with a reflection ratio of 12%.
