Talk:Shanghai Tower

Other pictures
I also uploaded these two other pictures of the Tower, as it was last August 31, but I think the one that is in the article now is the best. If these pictures are useful, please use them.Ferox Seneca (talk) 13:39, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

False information
"In 2013, it was alleged that the Shanghai Tower, along with numerous other large Chinese buildings, had been constructed with salt-rich concrete – a potentially serious corrosion risk to the tower's structural steel components."

The source webpage actually only alleges certain buildings in a single city (Shenzhen) to have this problem and does not to any other. Please remove this sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.132.255 (talk) 03:47, 4 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Agreed, unsubstantiated and irresponsible rumour from another province. Salt in concrete sand is a serious defect, and would be caught by any QC.

EditRequest
My name is Leah and I work for Gensler. I noticed there was an error on this page. I realize I have a clear conflict of interest so I wanted to flag for the community first before I make any transparent edits. The article should read that Jun Xia led the design team for this project. The others are incorrect and cannot be cited. Additionally, if we listed architects and other positions the list would become unwieldy – it’s easily cited to just list Jun Xia as the leader of the design team.

Here are citations for consideration:


 * Gensler’s Secret Sauce, Metropolis Magazine, June 2013
 * University of Colorado Alumni Spotlight

Shanghai Tower Finish Status
Shanghai Tower is considered to be opened through December 31, 2014 after the tower structure is finished. -- Allen   Talk 03:32, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Number of floors
Until yesterday, this article said "Floor count 121 (floors below ground: 2)" which is based on this Reuters article. The number was changed by an IP to read "Floor count 128 (floors below ground: 2)" which is supported by the reference on this page (Tallest Building in China Breaks Ground) and by skyscrapercenter.com. However, note that skyscrapercenter gives the below ground number as 5 not 2. Looking at other references, Shanghai Daily says 137 stories, The Telegraph says 128 and China Daily gives 121. There seems to be allot of disagreement in sources as to the correct figure. Rincewind42 (talk) 01:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Request Edit
My name is Leah and I work for Gensler (see previous requested edit for additional info). I'm recommending that we add a citation to a recent Fast Company article, because the citation is more timely and a neutral point of view that is verifiable. Here is my recommendation:

Design
The Shanghai Tower was designed by the American architectural firm Gensler, with Chinese architect Jun Xia leading the design team.

change status
I live in shanghai and seen the tower being built. The tower now is almost finished, and work now is on the inside. So I recommend to change the status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.247.151.136 (talk) 08:47, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Urban Exploration
The Urban Exploration section seems completely irrelevant to me. I can't justify its presence, so I'm removing it.
