The Shanghai Tower

Stunning! The Shanghai Tower stands at 632 meters tall, making it the second tallest skyscraper in the world after the Burj Khalifa. Its spiral design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also reduces wind resistance by 24%, improving the structural efficiency of the building.

Located in the Lujiazui financial district, this architectural marvel houses offices, luxury hotels and the world's highest indoor observation deck, at 561 meters high. It also has one of the fastest elevators on the planet, reaching 20.5 meters per second. Its sustainable design includes a rainwater collection system and a double layer of glass to improve energy efficiency. A true jewel of modern engineering!
