From Icon to Community: Repositioning the Image of the Modern Mega-Towe
city or an individual.In todays age of global hyper-urbanization,mega tall towers are,for the first time in history,becoming more than just iconic power symbols.Mega-towers address a real urbanization problem: they create more building space with less land.New generation mega-towers have evolved from being independent structures into complex mini-cities with integrated underground transportation systems and pedestrian connections.Their underground and abovegrade connections to infrastructure are often more challenging to design and build than the towers themselves.Given this complex and highly dynamic design environment,the existing mega-tower delivery model is no longer fit for purpose; a new,more efficient model must be explored.This paper compares two mega-towers: Tianjin CTF Finance Centre(530m)in Tianjin,China and Wuhan CTF Finance Centre(648m)in Wuhan,China; discusses the design and build challenges involved in both towers,and proposes a procurement methodology which will usher in a new era for mega-tower delivery.
