:previous: That looks almost the same height as the WFC.

That is likely a massing model based on the ancient Daewoo Financial Center design, which was significantly shorter. The height for this new competition was proposed as 580m occupiable, allowing a crown/spire to reach taller.
I can't see how people really like Foster's design from that one image. It appears to be just a big boring prism thing..? Nothing original. KPF's while not bad, reminds me too much of a love child between the Complex Federation Tower in Moscow and the old Freedom Tower design. But, whatever.. to each his own.. In reality, we have all seen maybe one rendering of most of the towers. There is more to every proposal than one image I am sure. I suggest you all give the elevation-esque rendering of the SOM design I posted further down page one to show what I mean. |

Gawd these are all damn tall. If it weren't for a little tower called the Burj Dubai, these would all be WTB proposals.
|
^ Even the worst tower looks better than the Burj.

It will go on the driving range plot tucked behind the jin mao. It has long been planned to have a third super-tall there. One will go up eventually, but who knows if this will actually be it.
Those twins were originally going to be in the 350m range. THey are going to look tiny now if the third super-tall is as high as in most of these renderings. It's a shame as they are gorgeous! |

Some really unique and mindblowing proposals here, will be very hard to choose a winner to that plot, as it will overrun SWFC! :rolleyes:

Some of the other designs look wonderful too, but they seem to be too ahead of our time. They look like they belong to StarWars and the geometry doesn't look like they're "build-able". The rest range from average to down right ugly. |
Will this be in the running for World's Tallest Building......or not quite?
|
^^ Not quite. If the burj wasn't being built it'd be cool to watch this and the russia tower go head to head for the WTB :)

I really like the KPF design, I hope it wins.:worship: :worship:

A couple of those designs were really spectacular. I would be thrilled to get one of Shanghai's little projects, it would dwarf anything we have in Phoenix. What I really like about so many of China's buildings are the futuristic and unconventional designs that have become so common.

Okay guys, don't get too excited. The article clearly say NONE of the design from foreign firms get through the first phase of the selection process. (phase 1 of the selection process has 36 proposals, only 9 proposals get into phase 2, which are all chinese firm)

They are selecting the best of the Chinese proposals, to then compete against the foreign firms' proposals. |
