Designed by SOM architects and<br \/>\nengineers, the 380-meter supertall is a concrete tube-in-tube structure,<br \/>\nmeaning both the standard core and the fa\u00e7ade are made of concrete.\nAs design principal Scott Duncan explains, the choice of material was<br \/>\nrequested by the client, a major Guiyang developer who understood<br \/>\nthe culture of concrete culture in the region and also valued its<br \/>\neconomy. Duncan&#8217;s team embraced the idea of an exoskeleton of<br \/>\nconcrete expressed as a relatively thick fa\u00e7ade with sculptural window<br \/>\nbays that use the depth of the structure as a sustainability strategy,<br \/>\nshading the interior against solar gain.\n<p>The Guiyang WTC tower is the centerpiece of a 21-building complex, all developed by the Zhongtian Urban Development Group according to an SOM master plan that combines offices, residential, and retail buildings into a complex that rises in height as it moves away from the riverfront, which is reserved for parks and public space.<\/p>\n\t<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Other Name<\/td>\n<td>Zhongtian Tower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Location<\/td>\n<td>Guiyang, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Urban Area Population<\/td>\n<td>3,483,100 (2016)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Year Proposed<\/td>\n<td>2015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Construction Started<\/td>\n<td>2017<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Year Completed<\/td>\n<td>2021<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Height<\/td>\n<td>380 m \/ 1,247 ft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Developer<\/td>\n<td>Zhongtian Urban Development Group Co., Ltd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Architect<\/td>\n<td>Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill LLP (SOM)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Structural Engineer<\/td>\n<td>Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill LLP (SOM)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MEP<\/td>\n<td>Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill LLP (SOM)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/lakhta-center\/\">&lt; BACK<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/chengdu-greenland-center\/\">NEXT &gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nInstallation view Exterior view Master plan Structural diagrams Energy diagrams Interior view Facade view Construction photograph The video begins with Scott Duncan&#8217;s lecture, followed by Q&amp;A with Museum Director Carol Willis, whose introduction to the webinar is included after the&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/guiyang-wtc-landmark-tower\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Guiyang WTC Landmark Tower&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/guiyang-wtc-landmark-tower\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Guiyang WTC Landmark Tower&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7561,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7547","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skyscraper.org\/supertall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
