Here's an aerial of the plot. Just lovely.

(I'm not sure hotlinking is allowed)

I like the chosen design much better than the disgarded one. The model makes it look really tall.

Where are this taken from, giallo? Do you have a goldcard at the Jin Mao Hyatt nowadays?

Nice fin at the top.
It looks like Piano's ABN-Amro in Sydney, without the curves.

Nah, I usually grab a bowl of the Hyatt's delicious wonton soup for lunch and snap a few pictures while I'm up there.
I actually got hassled by one of the staff today telling me I can't take pictures from the lobby. He told me to go up to the 88th floor to photograph. I almost choked.

staff · #15 Posted **Jul 19, 2006, 1:04 PM**

Wonton soup eh? I gotta try that.

Yeah, I guess you better get up there in shame... 88th floor.

skysoldier · #16 Posted **Jul 19, 2006, 3:44 PM**

I have been to the 88th floor one time. The view is not very clear. 50th~60th floor could be the best altitude to take the picture for lower-height construction.

It's not replacing that golf course site designated for a supertall, is it?

Nice filler for the new supertall core, that area sure needs some more skyline density.

Shanghai_Fan · #18 Posted **Jul 19, 2006, 9:38 PM**

^^ No, it is not. That polt remains awaiting for a supertall.

New rendering :

The underground floors of this tower seem quite advanced. Soon the excavation will be filled.
