CHICAGO (Aug. 15)—The chief executive of Kingdom Real Estate, developer of the one-kilometer-tall Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia, will join top executives from the builders of Burj Khalifa and Taipei 101 in an unprecedented discussion of the past, present and future of the world’s tallest building during the Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat’s 9th World Congress in Shanghai, 19-21 September.
芝加哥(8月15日)——沙特阿拉伯高达1公里的王国大厦的开发商——王国地产发展公司——的首席执行官将与来自哈利法塔和台北101大厦的首席执行官一起在9月19-21日上海举办的世界高层都市建筑学会第9届全球会议上展开一场史无前例的讨论:世界第一高楼的过去、现在和未来。
Kingdom Tower will surpass the 828-meter (2,717-foot) Burj Khalifa, the world’s current tallest building, which was completed in 2010. Burj Khalifa earned the title by passing the 508-meter (1,667 feet) Taipei 101, which was opened in 2004.
王国大厦将超越目前世界第一高楼——高达828米(2717英尺)的哈利法塔。2010年竣工的哈利法塔此前是超越了508(1667英尺)米高的台北101大厦摘得世界第一高楼头衔,而台北101大厦于2004年建成投入使用。
Talal Al-Maiman, chief executive officer and managing director of Kingdom Real Estate Development Co. will provide an update on the status and design of Kingdom Tower, which will anchor the 5.3 million square-meter master-planned Kingdom City development in north Jeddah.
王国地产发展公司首席执行官兼总经理Talal Al-Maiman将分享王国大厦的设计与建造的最新进展。大厦将矗立在位于吉达北部、规划用地为530万平方米的王国市。
Emaar, developer of Burj Khalifa, will be represented by chief executive Fred Durie, who will speak about the development of Burj Khalifa as the world’s tallest “vertical city.” Harace Lin Hong-Ming, chairman and president of the Taipei Financial Center Corporation, will address the iconic Taipei 101’s development as a sustainable skyscraper.
哈利法塔的开发商——伊尔玛地产的首席执行官Fred Durie将汇报世界最高的“垂直城市”——哈利法塔的发展。台北金融大楼股份有限公司董事长兼总经理林鸿明将聚焦标志性的台北101大厦在迈向可持续摩天大楼方面的发展。
“To gather the chief executives of three ‘world’s tallest buildings’ in one room is a very special event,” said Timothy Johnson, chairman of the CTBUH and a partner with NBBJ. “These projects demonstrate dramatic breakthroughs achieved in building design and technology in the last 10 years, as well as the dramatic height milestones.”
CTBUH主席、NBBJ设计合伙人Timothy Johnson谈到:“三座‘世界第一高楼’的首席执行官齐聚一堂是一件相当特别的事情”。这三个项目展示了过去十年建筑设计与技术的伟大突破,同时也成为建筑高度的里程碑。
The completion of Kingdom Tower will likely represent a doubling of the height of the world’s tallest building in less than two decades, part of a historic surge in tall building development. Petronas Towers, the world’s tallest building in 2003 before the completion of Taipei101, won’t even make the list of world’s tallest 20 buildings by 2020, according to CTBUH forecasts.
王国大厦的建成有可能意味着世界第一高楼的高度在不到二十年的时间里翻了一倍,这成为高层建筑历史性迅猛发展的一部分。根据CTBUH研究预测,台北101大厦建成前的2003年世界第一高楼——马来西亚的双子塔,甚至都不能进入2020年世界最高的20座建筑的排名榜。
In contrast, the Empire State Building reigned as the world’s tallest building for 41 years, before it was passed by the World Trade Center towers in 1972.
相比之下,在1972超越世贸中心大厦成为世界第一高楼的帝国大厦则保持这一头衔长达41年之久。
“The Past, Present and Future of the World’s Tallest” will be held from 9:15 to 10:45, 21 September, at the Jin Mao Grand Hyatt, the Congress headquarters.
“世界第一高楼的过去、现在和未来”讨论会将于9月21日上午9:15-10:45在大会的会场金茂君悦酒店举行。 |
