Like in our previous post, the Zifeng Tower, KK100 had just made it the top ten and was officially knocked off when the famous Shanghai Tower was completed almost a year ago. We wanted, as caring and kind skyscraper supporters, to pay tribute to the Super Scraper:
1. This supertall Shenzhen-sation is instrumental in the famously gorgeous skyline of the Far East. With it's beautiful façade and its distinctive shape, in draws in thousands of tourists in day by day.
2. These tourists are privileged to stay in its hotels and shop in its luxury malls, which even houses Shenzhen's first ever IMAX cinema!
3. Surprisingly, this building is the tallest ever skyscraper to be built by a British architect.
4. With height-width ratio of 9:5:1, making one of the slimmest skyscrapers in China and even the World.
5. It came fourth in the world-famous Emporis skyscraper award in 2011... Side note: Keep a lookout for one of our upcoming posts of our own TSS Skyscraper Award inspired by the Emporis originals...
