The big payoff will be seeing the two layers of sheathing being completed.

I hope this one blows away even our high expectations.

My word, some of these Shanghai shots are fantastic. I tried to get such good photos, but alas, the weather/smog was not cooperating when I visited in June 2012.

bigreach · #**1467** Posted **Oct 27, 2012, 6:15 PM**

I don't think photos are gonna do this beast justice,, this will be 1 of those gotta see it in person to appreciate the size,, I remember driving to NYC and seeing the WTC site 50miles out,, bet you'll be able to see this 70 miles out on a clear day..

The Chemist · #**1468** Posted **Oct 27, 2012, 11:31 PM**

^Even on the clearest of days, visibility isn't that high in Shanghai. Besides, there aren't any approach angles to the city that would allow such long distance viewing due to at least partial blocking by other highrises.

This is already a massive building.

Coldrsx · #**1471** Posted **Nov 8, 2012, 7:28 PM**

Simply incredible.

This is very interesting because im on course on getting my highschool degree next year and then working on my bachelors or masters degree in civil engineering.

9/14

the fully transparent glass is nothing short of spectacular. it makes the tower even more of a spectical. if that is even possible.

JACKinBeantown · #**1475** Posted **Nov 24, 2012, 4:24 AM**

It will be a fantastic tower when completed in every way but one... the views from inside will be dramatically obstructed by the trusses, the floor plates and the reflections off the extra layer of glass. Otherwise it will be one of the coolest skyscrapers there is.

colemonkee · #**1476** Posted **Nov 25, 2012, 7:16 PM**

Has any of the interior layer of glass gone up yet? It's tough to tell from the photos.

What height is the building at? It looks like about 1100-1200ft by my estimates based on the height of the other two towers

bigreach · #**1480** Posted **Nov 27, 2012, 5:06 AM**

Starting on 5th truss, by slate spring this sucker should be at the 8th truss, and hopefully finishing up the roof design... I cant stress enough, this thing could pass 1 wtc by the end of Jan, well maybe february, but at this pace the sky is the limit.. Wish they would have added 2 more trusses, and shot for 2400-2500.. Just an awesome structure.. Anybody know how many panes of glass this tower will use, since twice as much for double cladding.
