Chapter 439, is the copy of the Shanghai Tower, what?
What does the newly built Alice Building look like is actually very simple. Alice just plagiarizes the Shanghai Central Building.
The exact same building, but unfortunately the latter was born around 2016 in Lujiazui, Shanghai. Alice has moved it intact now and put her own name on it.
Since she talked about this interesting topic, Alice certainly didn't mind everyone appreciating her works. In fact, because of an obvious reason, she had long stuffed her laptop and related information together. So when the topic came, she just needed to go to the next house and come back.
"Come on, let's take a look."
The world's first laptop invented by Toshiba, Japan, was turned on and started. On the light green screen, the simple interface of the autocad was turned on, and a three-dimensional structure diagram was displayed in front of the two.
"Oh, my goodness." As the developer of the software, Warnock first expressed his opinion: "What a complex graphics, you did it alone!?"
The building shown in the picture is of course the whole picture of the Shanghai Central Building later. Even if the two viewers were just simple programmers, they would instinctively be amazed by this ingenious skyscraper. What's more, if the content of the Los Angeles Times is true, this entire 100-storey building, from the exterior outline to the internal structure, was made by the little girl in front of her!
"There is an architectural design that I established to assist you. In short, let me introduce it to you. John, look at it, this is the work I made with our products."
Nothing can inspire people's confidence and interest more than this, especially after the building is completed, it will definitely be the residence of many Alice's companies. Who can't be curious about its specific situation?
Undoubtedly, even if this building was placed in 2106, it was the tallest building in China. Its landmark building in Shanghai and even Lujiazui was a world-renowned property. Therefore, when she moved the house as it was to the center of Los Angeles, the effect would be exactly the same.
Six hundred and thirty-two meters total 2,070 feet. In this country where both metric and imperial units are written on the speedometer, no matter which number is a record-breaking number.
According to Alice's conceptual map after completion, the two viewers can clearly see that the exterior of the building is spiraling up, and the opening on the surface of the building rotates from the bottom to the top, showing a unique slender beauty. Moreover, as a building cast by modern materials, after lighting up the light, it shines with fluorescent green and milky white light, as crystal clear as a translucent crystal tube!
"The area of the architectural theme is not an exaggeration, at least relative to its height. After all, I am a lady, so how can I build a big iron block like a polar bear? Look at the translucent appearance, the twisted waist, and how tall we are, of course, we, Alice Building, are we also a lady!"
The girl was chattering and laughing, while Warnock was more observing how his little boss designed the entire building with the same software. As the "old model" version, as a developer, he certainly knew that its performance limit was and to make the most of the limited resources. Should he really be worthy of having created too many strange magical girls?
"In contrast..." Instead, Alice dragged her long voice and said, "The old Alice building is not good~"
Just kidding, if you want to talk about what a skyscraper should be built, anyone who has been reborn will instinctively find examples from his previous life. Since the Oscars said that he would build a record-breaking building, the first thing Alice thought of was of course the Chinese Supreme, which is full of masculine, strong nationality, and extremely solid shape. But if you think about it carefully, is a skyscraper with her own name really suitable for the heavy-sensed shape of the Chinese Supreme?
Of course, it should be a merger between China and the West, full of international style, a slim lady standing in Lujiazui on the Bund.
"I know that many skyscrapers have multifunctional designs, such as paid viewing decks and hotel areas, but this building is definitely my personal property. I will build my office here in the future~"
No matter how economic globalization is, Alice will not be able to handle all her official duties at home, even if she goes to Beverly or Hampton to buy a luxury house. The serious boss’s office is the general trend, and considering that she really invests all over the world, intensive management is even more imperative.
"Look, here is my design for the wind resistance of the building." She operated the software and said: "From the sky, its shape is like a guitar paddle. As the height increases, each floor is twisted nearly one degree. This design can delay wind flow, because the wind will form a vortex shed effect when the building surrounds the building, causing the skyscraper to shake violently. According to calculations, my appearance design can reduce the side force by 24%.
It is not enough to just have theoretical data, and this is also proven by the Architectural Institute using wind tunnel testing. The British designer Remus Bourne was successfully poached by Alice. It would be quick to have such an old man pieced together a sufficient new institute. As for the wind tunnel experiment, it turns out that if the initial model data were completely correct, the experiment itself would be a mere prone.
"Let's talk about the internal structure issue. After all, you will be here in the future." She said: "The main body of the building is 118 floors, of which the first and second floors are catering areas, retail commodity areas and underground passages leading to the subway. After all, office workers, buy things from 9 to 5."
"The underground floors of the third to fifth floors are parking lots and computer room equipment. There is nothing to say about this. There must be parking lots outside the building. It's really not enough. It's just a lot to dig it up, it's definitely enough. In addition, I also designed a multi-functional activity center in the podium room that can accommodate 1,200 people."
Then the key point is the internal structure of a whole building: "The whole building is divided into eight areas. The first area is one to five floors, with large conference rooms, multi-functional spaces and some retail malls. The second area upwards is eight to nineteenth floors, and foreign guests are indispensable for each company. This area is used to provide accommodation. Of course, if there are hard-working employees who want to stay overnight after get off work, the building property will certainly not be prohibited."
"In addition, considering the elevator transfer problem, there is an aerial lobby composed of double curtain walls every 120 degrees between each area upwards. Although the overlooking of Los Angeles is just that, the feeling of looking out from a height of hundreds of meters will be very good no matter what."
"When it comes to evacuation elevators, this is how I assigned them." The design of super high-rise buildings, fire prevention and traffic are always the top priority, and people can't help but listen carefully: "One from the first floor to the 89th floor, two from the 89th floor to the 96th floor, three from the 96th floor to the 100th floor; there are also 13 passenger elevators for safe evacuation, serving 4 different shelters. Of course, ordinary people don't need to understand these things. If an accident happens, the building security officer will be responsible for directing everyone."
"At the upper level, there is the office area. Of course, there must be enough gym for employees, but it can be dozens of floors of space, which is more than enough."
"So, let's take a look at the two of you. From the 23rd floor to the 110th floor, how many companies and employees of different sizes can be installed?"
After a good string of introductions, Alice threw the last question to the founders of the two design software companies.
What can they say?
"I only have one question," Walker said. "I certainly don't doubt the design details of this super high-rise building. Miss Wang, when did you learn architectural design? Is this your debut work?"
"The first work was the Computer Research Center I built in Exeter, England. It was a building with a metal skeleton glass curtain wall imitating the appearance of the bird's nest." Alice smiled and said, "But compared with this one, it's a big deal. It has a building height of more than 580 meters and a curtain wall area of 140,000 square meters... Please allow me to use the metric unit. The wall steel structure supports the complex structure, and is divided into nine districts based on the eight truss layers of the main structure. Each district's curtain wall is relatively independent in its own system. In terms of nature, I have consulted with design consultant Bourne. This is the first time in the world that such a large area of flexible curtain wall is installed on a super high-rise building."
"I have a little impression of this," Warnock suddenly spoke. The two general managers are similar in age and have similar names, which is really easy to mess up: "The Los Angeles Times has commented that it is defined by the industry as the "world's top curtain wall project" and the authoritative organization responsible for inspection... is called, so what is it."
"I don't care about those, but their evaluations make sense. Architectural design is not just about drawing a picture on paper, especially when it comes to physical properties of various materials." What should be cared about is ignored, and Alice only proudly introduced the specific details of the baby she designed.
"The entire glass curtain wall system not only needs to overcome the problems of large upper and lower spans and super-long construction of steel ring beams supporting glass curtain walls, but also comprehensively consider how to effectively control the deformation and structure of the curtain wall under the influence of various environmental factors such as typhoons, earthquakes, high and low temperatures, and self-weight loading of curtain wall glass sections. These are a bit disharmonious. If the Soviet Union fires a meteorological weapon at us, it will really have to be taken."
Speaking of this, Alice couldn't help looking at the downtown outside the window. Currently, the tallest building in the United States west of Chicago, the 310-meter-high Federal Bank Building stands there. Thinking that the entire 632-meter-long "Alice" was about to stand next to this little guy, a girl of the same name couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
Chapter completed!
