absolutely beautiful, a masterpiece

Hehe. Staff and I weren't the greatest influences, were we?
I've got a boatload of Jinny pictures. It'll take me awhile to find them all and upload them to flickr, but here are the ones I have online right now. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2210/...50ae931e_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1221/...7d27dbce_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1059/...2c14a71e_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1038/...d9ed8ac1_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1144/...0af40393_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1107/...1dbf5f50_o.jpg From the inside of the bar on the 87th floor http://farm1.static.flickr.com/209/5...5c31da1a_o.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/215/4...a3b80eaa_o.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/193/4...daa553ee_o.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/193/4...718ac6c3_o.jpg For the record, I love the Jin Mao. One of my favourite skyscrapers anywhere. |
probably going to be very iconic in the near future,as with everything in shanghia. you cannot deni its uniqueness.

So beautiful and very iconic. Why hasn't the US gotten a beautiful supertall like this in the recent years? After all, this was designed by an American achitectural firm.

This building actually looks its best seen from above - so we'll be sure to see some awesome shots of this tower when the SWFC has opened. I'll be there on the opening day assaulting the Jin Mao from above...
Some Jin shots from my Flickr; http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/4...36568ea1_o.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/119/3...2137da7e_o.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/215/4...ce350ca3_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1328/...f7c58c83_o.jpg By the way, those were good times plinko!! |
Wow, what a beautiful building! I love the interior!

Wow, awesome photos all of you! I am also a fan of this tower. However, to me, the setback scheme is a little fussy, and it makes the tower seem shorter than it really is. The facade, on the other hand, is absolutely amazing and wonderfully detailed. The intricate geometry of the upper floors and crown is mesmerizing.
|
WOW I had no idea it had such an awe-inspiring interior and intricate detail!
Definitely one of my all-time favorite Asian Skyscrapers. :D |

Fantastic! |
One of the most underrated skyscrapers in the world.
I love shots from above looking down on it, it's a real beauty. |
Without a doubt the pinnacle creation of postmodernism.

wooow I just got dizzee. Seriously mate, were you hanging upside down when you took this? |
:previous:
Leaning over the edge as far as I could - stretched my arms out with the camera "upside down" (strapped around my arm). It'll make more sense if you look at the picture from upside down, but this view gives a heavier vertigo effect. :) |
I have to comment on this thread again; the images are simply outstanding. Looking through them again I realized just how nicely detailed this building is--truly top-notch. This fact combined with the setbacks provides for some radiant and dramatic reflections of sunlight from the facade.

this is one of the best skyscraper in the world imo

in 2001 a Chinese labourer while in conversation with friends took a long hard look at the tower and knew he could climb it. To his friend's surprise he embarked on his mission immediately before he was arrested at the top, hands bleeding, and released a few hours later to the press. IN his story he said he wanted to make a statement for the life of migrants in Shanghai...
So far 5 people have now climbed the building including the French Spiderman. The most recent was in 2007, 7 months after Alain Robert, in the early hours of the morning. Nowadays the climbers are jailed for a week for public disorder offences (it usually causes evacuation at the base, and dangerous rescue efforts). latest climb: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2...6220064283.jpg Spiderman http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/...hKaer/340x.jpg http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/5268...5A1E4F32AD3138 http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/5268...5A1E4F32AD3138 http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/5268...5A1E4F32AD3138 Basically the tower is one big climbing frame or ladder due to the steel struts. Robert commented his 6 year old could climb it. |
That is one gorgeous skyscraper! One of my favourites out of asia.
Thanks for the view from above- I've never done a drawing of this skyscraper, because the crown was proving very difficult. But that view should help make things easier. |
