TIANJIN CTF FINANCE CENTRE , TIANJIN – 530.4M
The Tianjin CTF Centre was completed last year and is the tallest in the city of Tianjin ( or at least it will be until the Goldin Finance 117 building is completed ). Standing 530.4 metres tall , the structure has an elegantly fluted , all-glass
09 design that increases its resistance to seismic activity . The tower ’ s carved glass exterior is made entirely of flat glass paneling , a major feat of engineering , while strategically placed , multistory wind vents combined with the tower ’ s aerodynamic shape reduce vortex shedding , which in turn minimizes wind forces . Tianjin CTF has 97 floors above ground and four below , serviced by 80 elevators , making it the world ’ s tallest building with fewer than 100 floors .
