Shanghai Tower, Shanghai, Gensler - When it opens in early 2015, Gensler’s Shanghai Tower will be the second-tallest building in the world. At 2,073 feet, the skyscraper will surpass its immediate neighbors, SOM’s 1,379-foot Jin Mao Tower and KPF’s 1,614 foot Shanghai World Financial Center, to complete a trio of supertall buildings in Lujiazui, the main business district of the city’s Pudong area. Shanghai Tower’s twisting, tapering, triangular form without a typical “look-at-me” cap on top will appear as if it could continue skyward forever.
