Steveve, look on the previous page for a great comparison render I posted from SSC.

They also have some cool pictures of the external glazing being tested.

Yeah Steveve, this tower is gonna be bigger than SWFC, that's for sure.

how many clean air days do Shanghai have in a year?

There's a formula for determining that:

1. Take Gary Busey's average number of consecutive sober days.
2. Divide by 5.
3. Subtract 3.

And voila - Shanghai clean air days.

That glass looks sick. I love clear glass. This could be a real stunner.

Pictures are tough to come by on this bad boy, but here's one from April 26th, via livinginchina4now on Flickr.

^ I know. I suck. I live 3 minutes away by taxi. I have no excuse.

I hope a picture from my window will do for now.

yup. one super-sharp looking tower. amongst the best supertalls built in the last 11 years.

I feel kinda bad for the SWFC becoming the number 2 of the complex. I think it's design is better than that of the ST. But I like the ST too.

The Pudong skyline is looking like a trophy case with its ever growing set of signature towers.

colemonkee · #**1037** Posted: **May 18, 2011, 6:38 AM**

giallo, that will more than "do".

i'll admit i compare the two, but at the end of the day, Shanghai tower and SWFC are very different looking towers, hard to compare them even though it's good vs good.
