Marshall Strabala was born on April 2, 196 1. He is an American architect and graduated from Harvard University with a degree in design. He designed three of the top ten tallest buildings in the world. His main architectural designs are Shanghai Tower, Zifeng Tower and Burj Khalifa.
The center of Shanghai as a whole is spiraling up, as if "breaking through the ground", like a dragon soaring into the sky. The design team took advantage of the possibility brought by the urban lines outlined by the winding Huangpu River and the asymmetric layout to integrate the urban texture of Shanghai into the design.
The vertical spatial planning comes from the "hazy space" that buffers the indoor and outdoor life of China people, which is a common element in the unique Shicangmen building in Shanghai. The long lining and garden are the background of Shanghai's social life, and the design centered on Shanghai presents the layout of this lining vertically.
The Value Significance of Shanghai Tower
Shanghai Tower is not only the latest symbol for Shanghai to show the image of a modern metropolis to the world, but also points out a new direction for how to combine architectural technological innovation with cultural identity. Its function, identity and symbol meet the specific needs of the city, showing the enthusiasm of high-rise skyscrapers for public space, sacrificing part of the use area to provide public space, and walking in front of pure commercial needs.
Shanghai Tower is 632 meters high, which is the second tallest building in the world and the tallest building in China. This is also the first time that China people have built a tall building with a height of more than 600 meters. It shows the great progress of China's manufacturing and engineering construction and the achievements of urban modernization since the reform and opening up, and also reflects the unique design concept and bold design innovation of architects.
