Will the middle core be used for elevators only? Looks kinda like that to me.

Not the most detailed update, but meh, better than nothing, I suppose.

You can see a slice of the core with the red crane attached to it. It needs to rise another 25-30fl before I'll get a really good view of the tower. I can't wait until that happens - though it will block a portion of the SWFC.


This photo was taken just before a big, fat blizzard swept through the city.

What exactly do you mean "blizzard"? You don't mean snow, do you?

Totally agree that design was pure beauty compared to the square.

and it would have been a good way to say its time to burn and bury the hatchet.

and it has nothing to do with construction technices Obey it was solely not done because the square is a symbol of Japan. And China and Japan havent really ever been good friend.

and especially not after the Japanese invasions in the early 20th century and the actions of japan in ww2

Those are some big outrigger columns. Looking at the leaked plans, they'll be even bigger when everything is done as the steel we're seeing now is due to be encased in concrete.

Sorry if this question was already asked, but:

Is there a webcam for this thing?

Some news from SSC.

Or just a hoax? It appears as they changed the design:

I hope they didn't change the design. I absolutely love the twisting design we all know. That said, this rendering is also pretty awesome and would love to see it built somewhere. It doesn't have quite the pizazz the twisting one does but it is still pretty sleek.

It's impossible for this to be a 'new' design. The way the construction site is (particularly with the slightly angled supercolumns which would not fit with this design that doesn't have a twisting element) points clearly to the original Gensler design. I don't know where this one came from, but it's not what they are building.

This doesn't appear to be a new design. . . there's no evidence that this wasn't just something someone found on another architects website which was a visionary proposal from sometime ago. . .

Nah, it's a hoax. They're still going with the Shanghai Twister.

Maybe someone just posted one of the earlier design competition proposals.

That's exactly what it looks like to me. . . no hoax. . . just an earlier design. . .
