In China, Poon has argued persuasively, since 1996, for design criteria that lead to more-efficient structures in an effort to align a conservative code with international standards. “Dennis has been at the forefront of trying to promote better structural engineering in China,” says David Malott, a director of New York City-based architect KPF. “When he approaches structural reviewers, who tend to be quite conservative, he will challenge them in a respectful way,” adds Malott, who is working with Poon on the 660-meter-tall Ping An International Financial Center, just getting under way in Shenzhen.
Astonishingly, China has more than 25 supertowers planned or under way. The design for another TT project, the 632-m-high Shanghai Tower, which is ahead of Ping An IFC, was a guinea pig for crafting China’s first supertall building code, expected out in a year or so. “The building already incorporates some of the spirit of the code,” which will require performance-based design (PBD), says Poon.
Shanghai Tower is on deck to become the world’s tallest composite structure, China’s tallest building and the world’s second-tallest, after the 828-m Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The 632-m tower is set to replace the world’s second-tallest tower, the 508-m Taipei 101, also a Poon team design. (When finished, Ping An IFC will usurp Shanghai Tower’s ranking.) |
