Prompt: The 10th through 59th stories of the MetLife Building contain one of the first precast concrete exterior walls in a building in New York City.[1][35] The building includes about nine thousand light-tan precast concrete Mo-Sai panels, each of which surrounds a window measuring 4 feet (1.2 m) wide by 8 feet (2.4 m) high.[22][37] The panels themselves measure 6 feet (1.8 m) wide by 13.67 feet (4 m) high and weigh 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg).[22] Each panel is coated with a quartz aggregate to give texture to the facade.[22][36][37] Vertical concrete mullions project about 13 inches (330 mm) from the facade, separating the panels on every story.[37] Flat concrete spandrels separate the windows between stories.[22] Though Walter Gropius had considered a precast concrete facade to be more solid than a glass curtain wall, this only made the building appear bulkier.[14] Furthermore, the appearance of concrete degraded over time; this effect could be seen in structures such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum but was more pronounced on 200 Park Avenue's facade.[29] During the building's construction, the manufacturer of the Mo-Sai panels declared bankruptcy, forcing Diesel Construction to buy o
Prompt: 200 Park Avenue originally bore 15-foot-tall (4.6 m) "Pan Am" displays on its north and south facades and 25-foot-tall (7.6 m) globe logos on the east and west facades.[40] This was swapped with neon "MetLife" displays to the north and south in 1992.[41][42] These displays were changed again in 2017, being replaced with LED letters to conserve energy.[43][44] The Pan Am Building was the last tall tower erected in New York City before laws were enacted preventing corporate logos and names on the tops of buildings.[45] Modern New York City building code prohibits logos from being more than 25 feet (7.6 m) above the curb or occupying over 200 square feet (19 m2) on a blockfront.[46] The sign replacements had been permitted because the city government considered the new signs to be an "uninterrupted continuation of a use" that was allowed before the zoning laws were changed.[45]
Prompt: 28 Liberty Street, formerly known as One Chase Manhattan Plaza, is a 60-story International style skyscraper in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City, between Nassau, Liberty, William, and Pine Streets. The building was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of the firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Opened in 1961, it is 813 feet (248 m) tall.
Prompt: The building's 40 columns, sheathed with aluminum, are about 3 by 5 feet (0.91 by 1.52 m) thick[d] and are about 29 feet (8.8 m) apart, arranged in a 4×10 grid. The columns extend from the building on its long sides, while the floors cantilever from the columns on the building's short dimensions. The columns carry much of the weight of each floor.[23][27][30] The New York Times described this as a relatively novel design that had never been used on such a large scale,[30] though the design did have a precedent in Philadelphia's PSFS Building.[12] The presence of the columns at ground level creates a colonnade around the lobby, which is recessed behind the upper floors.[22] The columns rise from steel assemblies measuring 12 feet (3.7 m) square and 7 feet (2.1 m) thick, which are placed some 100 feet (30 m) below ground level.[31] In addition, stainless-steel flashing was placed on the facade's columns at four-story intervals, as well as beneath the spandrel panels on each floor. This reduced the amount of noise created by the wind passing through the columns.[32] In total, over 53,000 short tons (47,000 long tons; 48,000 t) of steel were used,[16] more than in any other New York C
Prompt: The building has about 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2) of above-ground floor area.[4][22][27] Each story measures 280 by 106 feet (85 by 32 m), with about 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) of area.[22][27][e] This made 28 Liberty Street the largest new building in New York City by floor area since the mid-1930s.[22] The innermost two rows of columns[28] were hidden inside the building's core, which contained its elevators and service rooms.[4][34][35] At the time, it was not possible to completely eliminate the interior columns.[14] Nonetheless, this provided great flexibility for the interior floor plans, which many prospective tenants desired.[34][35] The floor plan was slightly asymmetrical: the southern side was ten feet wider than the northern side, with columns spaced 40 feet (12 m) apart from north to south.[22][34][35][36] This was because Chase officials considered the southern side of the building more desirable to work in.[37]
Prompt: The floors beneath the plaza are much larger, covering the entire lot with a combined area of 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2). There are five basement levels below the concourse.[27][42][43] The first basement level was used mainly as a lower lobby and a banking floor.[43] There was also dining and kitchen space on the first and second basements; printing, tabulating, and mechanical spaces on the third basement; check handling on the fourth basement; and vaults on the fifth basement.[27][42] A truck ramp descends to the second basement;[27][42] the truck entrance, as well as ventilation grates for air intake and outflow, are on the Liberty Street side, below the raised plaza.[4][5] There is also a pedestrian entrance on the William Street side, below the plaza, which leads to the eastern part of the concourse.[5][43] According to Architectural Forum, the fifth basement had a "bank vault nearly the size of a football field", which sorted $35 billion worth of securities (equivalent to $246.6 billion in 2021)[44] and covered about half the site.[43]
Prompt: 110 North Wacker, also known as the Bank of America Tower,[1] is a 57-floor skyscraper in Chicago located at 110 North Wacker Drive.[2] It was developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation and Riverside Investment & Development.[3] It was designed by Goettsch Partners[1] with construction by Clark Construction.[4] Structural engineering was by Thornton Tomasetti.[5] A topping-out ceremony was held in September 2019 and the building officially opened in on October 14, 2020.[1]
Prompt: The tower has no official observation deck, but views of the city can be seen from floors 27, 31, 32, 33, 35, 39, 40, 41, 43, and 44 in the common areas on the Ohio Street side (Tower side) of the complex. Additionally, views of Monument Circle and the immediate downtown area can be seen from floors 2 and 7 in the common areas on the Circle side of the complex. In 2017, electronic turnstiles were implemented in the tower as a security measure. In turn, the elevators are no longer accessible by the public. However Visitors Passes can be attained from the Security Desk in both the Circle and Tower-side lobbies. The tower can be seen from various spots around greater Indianapolis.[2]
Prompt: On March 17, 2016, before the final phase of external construction, the Diagrid lantern-shaped roof structure was completed. The roof structure was constructed with steel counterparts that are each 12 metres (39 ft) and weigh 20 tons. The counterparts were made up of bent metal panels that are 6 cm (2.4 in) thick. The roof structure itself is 120 metres (390 ft) high and covers floors 107–123. Approximately 3,000 tons of steel parts, a high-precision 64t tower crane and GPS alignment systems, as well as highly skilled welding technicians, were used in the construction of the roof. The roof structure is engineered to withstand its weight without reinforcing pillars, endure earthquakes up to a magnitude of 9 under the Richter magnitude scale, and winds up to 80 m/s (260 ft/s). It is also the fifth largest building in the world [7]
Prompt: The shape of the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is defined by its mixed-usage: the different uses require different floor sizes and the building is shaped to accommodate those demands. Namely, the skyscraper has setbacks at points where the usage changes: the setbacks are located between the offices and the apartments, between the apartments and the hotel, and between the hotel and the crown of the building. The setbacks are angled and contain parapets with sky terraces. The top of the building is angled as well, but doesn't contain a sky terrace.[7] The angled parapets point at the tops of various nearby tall buildings.[18] Because of the setbacks, the building looks different from every angle.[16]
Prompt: Globalworth Tower,[1] known previously as Bucharest One, is a class A office building that is located in the northern part of Bucharest, Romania, in the vicinity of Calea Floreasca, Barbu Văcărescu Boulevard and Pipera. The building has a total of 26 floors and a gross leasable area of 54,700 m2 (589,000 sq ft). The 118 m (387 ft) high building[2] is the second tallest in Bucharest and Romania just under the 137 m (449 ft) Floreasca City Center's Sky Tower.[3] The construction of the building started in 2014 and was completed in 2015 at a total cost of €60 million.[4]
Prompt: Glass blocks can provide light and serve as a decorative addition to an architectural structure, but hollow glass blocks are non load-bearing unless stated otherwise. Hollow glass wall blocks are manufactured as two separate halves and, while the glass is still molten, the two pieces are pressed together and annealed. The resulting glass blocks will have a partial vacuum at the hollow center. Due to the hollow center, wall glass blocks do not have the load-bearing capacity of masonry bricks and therefore are utilized in curtain walls.[4] Glass block walls are constrained based on the framing in which they are set. If a masonry or steel frame exists, the maximum area of the wall can be 144 square feet (13.4 m2), whereas the maximum area without a frame is 100 square feet (9.3 m2).
Prompt: The Maison de Verre (French for House of Glass) was built from 1928 to 1932 in Paris, France. Constructed in the early modern style of architecture, the house's design emphasized three primary traits: honesty of materials, variable transparency of forms, and juxtaposition of "industrial" materials and fixtures with a more traditional style of home décor.[a] The primary materials used were steel, glass, and glass block. Some of the notable "industrial" elements included rubberized floor tiles, bare steel beams, perforated metal sheet, heavy industrial light fixtures, and mechanical fixtures.[2]
Prompt: The design was a collaboration among Pierre Chareau (a furniture and interiors designer), Bernard Bijvoet (a Dutch architect working in Paris since 1927) and Louis Dalbet (craftsman metalworker). Much of the intricate moving scenery of the house was designed on site as the project developed. The historian Henry-Russel Hitchcock as well as the designer Eileen Gray have declared that the architect was in fact 'that clever Dutch engineer (Bijvoet)'(Gray). The external form is defined by translucent glass block walls, with select areas of clear glazing for transparency. Internally, spatial division is variable by the use of sliding, folding or rotating screens in glass, sheet or perforated metal, or in combination. Other mechanical components included an overhead trolley from the kitchen to dining room, a retracting stair from the private sitting room to Mme Dalsace's bedroom and complex bathroom cupboards and fittings.
Prompt: The Michigan State Capitol is 267 ft (81 m) from the ground to the tip of finial/spire above the dome. The building is 420 ft 2 in (128.07 m) long and 273 ft 11 in (83.49 m) wide (including approaches). The capitol occupies 1.16 acres (4,700 m2), has a perimeter of 1,520 ft (460 m).[7] The structure contains four stories, with public entrances on the ground floor. Two grand staircases in the north and south corridors go up to the top floor.[4] The rotunda measures 44.5 feet (13.6 m) in diameter and 160 feet (49 m) in height measured from the floor to the oculus. When it opened, the Capitol structure was large enough to host all the state agencies and departments. Due to the growth of state government, however, only the offices of Senate and House leadership and ceremonial offices for the governor and lieutenant governor remain in the capitol. The ground floor corridors led to "store rooms" designed by the architect in the original building plans. This includes an armory in the southwest corner of the south corridor. The original wood floor has been replaced by gray tiles. The rooms were originally lit with gas fixtures, though by 1900, the building had been refitted with electr
Prompt: Bullwinkle was a 1,736 feet (529 m)[1] tall, pile-supported fixed steel oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Installed in 1988, the total weight of the platform was 77,000 tons, of which the steel jacket comprises 49,375 tones.[2] At the time of its construction it was the third tallest freestanding structure ever built – shorter than only the CN Tower and the Ostankino Tower – and the tallest in the United States, being 6 ft (1.8 m) taller than the pinnacle of the Sears Tower. Of the total height, 1,352 feet (412 m) are below the waterline. It was located in Green Canyon Block 65, approximately 160 miles (260 km) southwest of New Orleans. Bullwinkle belongs to Fieldwood Energy LLC. The total field development construction cost was US$500,000,000 according to some sources.[3][4]
Prompt: One Vanderbilt's facade and design is intended to harmonize with Grand Central Terminal immediately to the east. The building's base contains a wedge-shaped void, and the tower tapers as it rises, with several "pavilions" and a pinnacle at the top. The facade is made mostly of glass panels, while the spandrels between stories are made of terracotta. The superstructure is made of steel and concrete, and the interior spaces are designed to be as high as 105 feet (32 m). The lobby has a bank branch and an entrance to the nearby railroad terminal and the associated subway station, while the second floor contains the Le Pavillon restaurant. Most of the building is devoted to office space. The top stories contain the Summit One Vanderbilt observation deck.
Prompt: One Vanderbilt is a 93-story supertall skyscraper at the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox for developer SL Green Realty, the skyscraper opened in 2020. Its roof is 1,301 feet (397 m) high and its spire is 1,401 feet (427 m) above ground, making it the city's fourth-tallest building after One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower, and 111 West 57th Street.
Prompt: It required 22,000 tons of steel; its heaviest component is 40.2 tons. The structure is treated with hot-dip galvanized fluorocarbon paint technology, and the steel component is connected with high-strength bolts. The amount of high-strength bolts is nearly 850,000, and the installation accuracy is 99.98%. It uses high-strength bolt connections, replacing high-altitude welding technology. The outer surface is a hyperbolic parabola. From the air, it looks like a plum blossom with five petals. The plum blossom is the provincial flower of Henan province. Five petals are homophonic with "five blessings" in Chinese. Looking up from the ground, the tower is like a static firework that spins upward and flies gracefully. The shape of the tower base is like a tripod, which was a symbol of power and prestige in ancient China. The shape of the tower is like the ancient Chinese musical instrument Chime Bells, which symbolizes the tower's communication function.
Prompt: 85 Sky Tower, formerly known as the T & C Tower or Tuntex Sky Tower (Chinese: 高雄85大樓; pinyin: Gāoxióng 85 Dàlóu; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ko-hiông 85 Tōa-lâu), is an 85-story skyscraper in Lingya District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The structure is 347.5 m (1,140 ft) high. An antenna increases the pinnacle height to 378 m (1,240 ft). Constructed from 1994 to 1997, it is the tallest skyscraper in Kaohsiung, and was the tallest in Taiwan until the completion of Taipei 101 in 2004.
Prompt: First Canadian Place (originally First Bank Building) is a skyscraper in the Financial District of Toronto, Ontario, at the northwest corner of King and Bay streets, and serves as the global operational headquarters of the Bank of Montreal. At 298 m (978 ft), it is the tallest building in Canada, the 31st tallest building in North America, and the 105th tallest in the world.[1] It is also the third tallest free-standing structure in Canada, after the CN Tower (also in Toronto) and the Inco Superstack chimney (projected to be demolished) in Sudbury, Ontario. The building is owned by Manulife Financial Corporation (50 per cent) in addition to a private consortium of investors including CPP Investments. The building is managed by Brookfield Properties.
Prompt: The Tokyo Tower (東京タワー, Tōkyō tawā, officially called 日本電波塔 Nippon denpatō "Japan Radio Tower") is a communications and observation tower in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, built in 1958. At 332.9 meters (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. The tower's main sources of income are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower. FootTown, a four-story building directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants, and shops. Departing from there, guests can visit two observation decks. The two-story Main Deck (formerly known as the Main Observatory) is at 150 meters (490 ft), while the smaller Top Deck (formerly known as the "Special Observatory") reaches a height of 249.6 meters (819 ft). The names were changed following renovation of the top deck in 2018.[4] The tower is repainted every five years, taking a year to complete the process.
Prompt: Federal-style architecture is the name for the classicizing architecture built in the newly founded United States between c. 1780 and 1830, and particularly from 1785 to 1815, which was heavily based on the works of Andrea Palladio with several innovations on Palladian architecture by Thomas Jefferson and his contemporaries first for Jefferson's Monticello estate and followed by many examples in government building throughout the United States. An excellent example of this is the White House. This style shares its name with its era, the Federalist Era. The name Federal style is also used in association with furniture design in the United States of the same time period. The style broadly corresponds to the classicism of Biedermeier style in the German-speaking lands, Regency architecture in Britain, and to the French Empire style. It may also be termed Adamesque architecture. The White House and Monticello were setting stones for federal architecture.
Prompt: Yerevan TV Tower (Armenian: Երևանի հեռուստաաշտարակ, Yerevani herustaashtarak) is a 311.7-metre (1,023 ft) high lattice tower[1] built in 1977 on Nork Hill near downtown Yerevan, Armenia. It is the tallest structure in the Caucasus, fourth-tallest tower in Western Asia (The Milad Tower in Tehran being the tallest), sixth-tallest free-standing lattice tower and thirty-eighth-tallest tower in the world.
Prompt: Georgia Tbilisi TV Broadcasting Tower (Georgian: თბილისის ტელეანძა, tbilisis teleandza) is a free-standing tower structure used for communications purposes. The tower is located in Tbilisi, Georgia and was built in 1972. The preceding structure, built in 1955, was moved to the vicinity of the city of Gori.[1][2][3]
Prompt: Sutro Tower is a unique three-legged 977 ft (298 m) tall TV and radio lattice tower located in San Francisco, California. Rising from a hill between Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro near Clarendon Heights, it is a prominent feature of the city skyline and a landmark for city residents and visitors. The tower was the tallest structure in San Francisco from the time of its completion in 1973 until it was surpassed by the Salesforce Tower in 2018.
Prompt: The Yokohama Landmark Tower (横浜ランドマークタワー, Yokohama Randomāku Tawā) is the third tallest building[1] and fifth tallest structure in Japan, standing 296.3 m (972 ft) high. Until surpassed by Abeno Harukas in 2014, it stood as the tallest building in Japan. It is located in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama city, next to the Yokohama Museum of Art.[2]
Prompt: The project involved construction of seven double-circuit power lines with a total length of about 1,800 kilometres (1,100 mi) connecting eight substations.[2] Seven of the substations were built from scratch.[5] The grid uses 3,600 transmission towers, with an average span of 500 metres (1,600 ft) between towers. The Amazon River span is 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi). The project built a double circuit with a voltage of 500 kV between the Tucuruí hydroelectric plant, the second largest in the country, and the Manaus region. It runs through intermediate substations in the municipalities of Anapu, Almeirim, Oriximiná and Silves. A line connecting Amapá to the national grid, a double circuit of 230 kV, runs from the Jurupari substation in Almeirim to substations in Laranjal do Jari and Macapá.[7] The Tucuruí Hydroelectric Dam has an installed capacity of 8,370 MW.[8] The total transport capacity of the high tension lines is 2,400 MW. Optical fiber cable was run along the transmission lines for use in broadband internet and telephony.[9] The optical network with multiple 100 gigabit per second carriers was installed by TIM Brasil, designed with 17 optical spans.
Prompt: Star Tower is a digital television and FM radio transmitting tower on Winton Road near North Bend Road in the College Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio designed and built by the Landmark Tower Company. The three-legged lattice tower stands 954 feet (290.8 m) high. It is one of the tallest lattice towers in the world and the second tallest of the four that rise above 900 feet in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] The tower is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, though the company owns an additional tower in Mount Auburn for its main station in the area, CBS affiliate WKRC-TV (next to WSTR and WKRC's studios).
Prompt: Above the 67th-floor observation deck is the building's spire, composed of a glass lantern rising 27 feet (8.2 m), topped by a stainless steel pinnacle extending another 97 feet (30 m).[14][29] The spire rises 124 feet (38 m) and weighs 8 short tons (7.1 long tons; 7.3 t).[30] The author Dirk Stichweh characterized the spire as giving the impression of a mountain peak covered with snow.[9] The spire had a beacon, which was described as being "visible for 200 miles at sea and inland",[14][31] though in reality the beacon could only be seen from 20 miles (32 km) away.[32] W. Parker Chase, writing in 1932, characterized the spire as being "almost sensational in its 'differentness'".
Prompt: United Overseas Bank Plaza (UOB Plaza) is a complex with twin tower late-modernist skyscrapers in the city of Singapore. UOB Plaza One was one of the three tallest in the city, sharing the title with the OUB Centre and Republic Plaza, but it is now the second tallest since the construction of Tanjong Pagar Centre in 2016. UOB Plaza Two is a shorter and older building with construction completed in 1973 and was later renovated in 1995 with a similar facade as UOB Plaza One. Both buildings are connected by a 45 m (148 ft) podium supported by four columns. The podium houses the banking hall of the United Overseas Bank's main branch. The building was opened by then Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew on 6 August 1995 which was 60 years after the founding of the United Overseas Bank.[7]
Prompt: Cheung Kong Center is a skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong designed by Cesar Pelli.
