VERY, very nice building. Lots of cool stuff going up in that city. A city almost no American's have heard of.

^Im sure NYC may well get a version - those wind turbines punctuating the facade are a revolutionary design that make these buildings carbon neutral, powering as well as cooling. So expect that kind of thing appearing everywhere soon

Don't go to China then, they have them everywhere.

I find that the LED's don't take nice pics, but if they are done right they look awesome in person!

Also this building is amazing!

need documents for a case study on pearl river

hello everyone

i am a senior civil eng,neering student and preparing a case study paper on the pearl river tower for a course ı'm taking about tall buildings. i need to analyze the structural system of this building in detail and need some scaled structural plan drawings but i couln't find any over the internet or any books. there are non-scaled layout plans in the book "The architecture of Adrian Smith, SOM : toward a sustainable future" but it is better if i could find more accurate drawings.

i managed to find information about the structural system in one paper from the website of ASCE and the SOM book and that's all.

i appreciate any help you could provide me..

the photos from the construction site are very helpful by the way, thank you.

looking forward to your answers
