[TANGELD_SLC]

How long has this been going?

[graupner]

damn, China is really going forward.
Meanwhile, USA is stalling big time.

[Fabb]

That's a redesign, right ?

I think I remember that the complex had just one, much less attractive, super-tall tower.

[Wheelingman04]

I am in love with those renderings.

[staff]

Thanks for creating the thread malec. I'll try and help keeping it updated.

Chinese Citys Dalliance With Super Tall
Published on 2007-10-17 by Skyscrapernews.com
Yet another super tall project in China, this time in the city of Dalian, has started, almost without any fanfare.

Dalian is a city few readers outside of China and Korea will have heard of. Despite this it has a population of about three million that has been a development zone since 1984 and is one of the main centres for China's north-east region.

The project called the Dalian Yujing Centre is a multi-tower development composed of is composed of 1x81 floor building 384 metres tall, 1x60 floor building and 3x43 floor buildings. The firm who has designed the scheme is the American NBBJ Architects.

At ground level several of the towers including the tallest ones have their own landscaped plazas with the center of the plot covered largely by a huge glass canopy that will connect the buildings together. Underneath will be an enormous five floors of basement parking.

Puncturing the sides of the main two towers are a series of atriums glazed in transparent glass running from only a few floors to ten levels high big enough to house sky gardens with mature trees inside them. They help to open up the interior of the design and animate it more than a solidly clad finish would.

Work has already begun on the construction of the project with excavation, not a small job due to the amount of earth that needs to be moved for the basement, well under way. If everything goes to plan then foundation work should begin before Christmas.

Btw, they posted at SSC that the main tower might be revised upwards to 455m.


I wish they had kept the very early design though: 1x83, 1x82 floor twins:

[Complex01]

Wow very nice. The taller tower reminds me of the Chase Tower in Houston. Cause it looks like it has 5 sides in all...

Those twins don't appear on the link you posted.
I don't remember exactly, but weren't they kind of dull ?

[Bergenser]

It looks very attractive IMO.

在中山路的行人 / 车道主干末端建一对 超智能化 双子楼，一幢为 82 层高的办公楼 / 住宅；另一幢为 83 层高的酒店 / 服务式公寓大楼， 巍峨壮丽于云霄比高，或为东北第一高楼 。

[Fabb]

Oups.
I even suspected that the big shadow was that of the tall towers.
I expected something more explicit.

Well, thanks for the clarification.

I had to look up Dalian on the map. Cool looking structures.

this photo (http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp216/jiafeixiaohai/P1060591.jpg) is just screaming for the first ever skyscraperpage photo/rendering caption contest.

They will look great in the Dalian skyline.

[OSCAR1987]

I walked by this site on Monday the 25th. No construction seemed to be happening, but they were selling the condos. (There were several other big stalled projects elsewhere in Dalian, from the looks of it.) Still, there seems to be some progress:

Also there is this render of Dalian and NY:

I love the main towers. Those short apartment towers look like they belong in Miami or something. But those main ones are beauties. Good for Dalian!

Hmm, not sure how to feel about this project. :uhh: My instinctive reaction is that it's tripe, but some of those renders are gorgeous.

[MolsonExport]

very Hong-Kongish looking photos (density/size of blocks)

[MolsonExport]

Seems like China is simultaneously building 25 New-York-sized skylines.

[HomrQT]

damn, China is really going forward.
Meanwhile, USA is stalling big time.

I hear you on that. Chicago has been teasing us with and then cancelling projects for too long! Let's get back to it!
