As for what the new Alice Building looks like, it's actually very simple, Alice is just plagiarizing the Shanghai Tower. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's exactly the same building, but it's a pity that the latter was born in Lujiazui, Shanghai, around 2016, and Alice has now moved it as it is and pressed her own name.

With that on the subject of this interesting topic, Alice certainly doesn't mind having everyone look at her work, in fact, for an obvious reason, she's crammed her laptop and related materials together. So as soon as the topic comes, she just needs to go downstairs and come back.

"Come on, let's take a look."

The world's first laptop computer invented by Toshiba Corporation of Japan, T1100 was turned on, and on the light green screen, the simple interface of AutoCAD was opened, and then a three-dimensional structural drawing was displayed in front of the two.

"Oh my God." As the developer of the software, Warnock was the first to comment: "It's such a complex graphic, you did it all by yourself!?" ”

The building shown in the picture is, of course, the full view of what would become the Shanghai Tower, and even the two viewers, who are just mere programmers, will instinctively marvel at this ingenious skyscraper. What's more, if the content of the "Los Angeles Times" is true, this entire hundred-story building, from the external outline to the internal structure, is made by the little girl in front of her!

"There's an architectural design firm that I set up to help, so let me introduce you to it. Big John, look, this is what I made with our products. ”

There's nothing more inspiring to confidence and interest, especially when this building is built to be home to many of Alice's companies, and who can't be curious about its specifics?

Undoubtedly, even in 2106, this building is the tallest building in China, a landmark building in Shanghai and even Lujiazui, and a world-renowned existence. So, when she moved her home to downtown Los Angeles, the effect would be exactly the same.

Six hundred and thirty-two meters adds up to two thousand and seventy feet, which is a record-breaking number in a country where both metric and imperial units are written on a speedometer.

According to Alice's post-construction concept art, the two viewers can clearly see that the exterior of the building spirals, with openings on the surface of the building rotating from the bottom to the top, revealing a unique slender aesthetic. Moreover, as a building cast of modern materials, after being lit, it shines with fluorescent green and milky white brilliance, like a translucent crystal tube!

"The floor space of the architectural theme is not exaggerated, at least relative to its height, but I am also a lady, how can I build a big iron block like a polar bear? Looking at the translucent appearance, looking at the small waist twisted, looking at how tall and tall we are, of course our Alice Mansion must also be a lady! ”

The girl chattered and laughed, while Warnock was more interested in how his little boss had used the same software to design the entire building. As the "old" version, as a developer, of course he knows that its performance limits are there, and he makes the most of limited resources.

"In contrast......" Alice turned to a long voice and said: "The old Alice Mansion is not good~"

Kidding aside, anyone who has ever been born again will instinctively look for examples from past lives when it comes to what a skyscraper should be built. Since Oscar said that he would build a record-breaking mansion, Alice's first thought was, of course, the Chinese Zun, which is full of masculinity, strong sense of nationality, and exceptionally stocky in shape. But if you think about it carefully, is a skyscraper with its own name really suitable for the heavy shape of China Zun?

Of course, it should be a merger of China and the West, full of international style, and a slender lady standing in Lujiazui on the Bund.

"I know that many skyscrapers have multi-functional designs, such as paid observation decks and hotel areas, but this building is definitely my private property, and I will build my office here in the future~"

In the future, no matter how globalized the economy is, Alice will not be able to really handle all the official business in her own home, even if she buys a mansion in Beverly or the Hamptons. The CEO's office is the trend of the times, and considering that he really has investments all over the world, intensive management is even more imperative.

"You see, here's what I've done about the building's wind resistance." "From above, it looks like a guitar pick, twisting nearly one degree with each layer as it rises in height," she said. This design slows down the flow of wind, which causes the skyscraper to shake violently as it winds around the building. According to calculations, my design was able to reduce the side forces by 24%. ”

It is not enough to have theoretical data alone, which has also been proven by wind tunnel tests in the Institute of Architecture. That British designer, Remus-Byrne, was successfully poached by Alice, and with such an old man here, it was a matter of time to cobble together a new research institute that was sufficient. As for the wind tunnel test, it turns out that if the initial model data is completely correct, then the experiment itself is of course just a passing scene.

"Let's talk about the internal structure, after all, you're going to be working here in the future." She added: "The main body of the building is 118 floors, of which the basement level and the second floor are food and beverage areas, retail goods areas and underground passages leading to the subway. ”

"The third to fifth floors of the basement are the parking lot and the equipment in the machine room. There's nothing to say about this.,There must be a parking lot outside the building.,It's really not enough.,It's a big deal to dig it full.,It's definitely enough.。 In addition, I designed a multi-purpose activity center that can accommodate 1,200 people in the podium. ”

And then there's the point, the interior of the building: "The building is divided into eight zones, the first of which is one to five floors, with large meeting rooms, multi-purpose spaces and a few retail malls. The second area up is the eighth to nineteenth floor, and all companies are indispensable for foreign guests, and this area is used to provide accommodation. Of course, if there are hard-working employees who want to stay overnight after work, the building property will certainly not prohibit it. ”

In addition, taking into account the problem of elevator transfers, there is a sky lobby composed of double-layer curtain walls every 120 degrees between each area upward. Although the overlook of Los Angeles is like that, the feeling of looking out from a height of a few hundred meters will be nice no matter what. ”

"When it comes to evacuation elevators, that's how I'm assigned." In the design of super high-rise buildings, fire prevention and traffic are always the top priorities, and people can't help but listen carefully: "1 is from 1 to 89 floors, 2 is from 89 to 96 floors, and 3 is from 96 to 100 floors; In addition, there are 13 passenger elevators for safe evacuation, which serve 4 different refuge floors. Of course, ordinary people don't need to know about this, if an accident happens, the building security guard will be responsible for directing everyone. ”

"Further up is the office area, of course, there must be enough gyms for employees, but there are dozens of floors of space further up, which is more than enough."

"So, let's do the math, from the twenty-third floor to the one hundred and tenth floor, how many companies and employees of different sizes are enough to fit in?"

After a long list of introductions, Alice threw this last question to the two founders of design software companies.

What can they say?

"I only have one question," Walker said, "of course I don't doubt the design details of this super high-rise building, Miss Wang, when did you study architectural design?" Is this your debut novel? ”

"The first project was my computer research center in Exeter, England, which was a building modeled after the appearance of a bird's nest with a metal skeleton hoop glass curtain wall." Alice said with a smile: "But compared to this one, it is a small thing, with 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, its wall steel structure support architecture is complex, with the main structure of eight truss layers as the boundary, a total of nine areas, each area curtain wall self-system is relatively independent. In nature, I've consulted with design consultant Bourne, and this is the first time in the world that such a large area of flexible curtain wall has been installed in a super high-rise. ”

"I have a bit of an impression of this," Warnock suddenly spoke, the two general managers are similar in age and have similar names, and it is really easy for people to confuse: "The Los Angeles Times has commented that it is defined by the industry as 'the world's top curtain wall project', and the authority responsible for inspection...... What's it called, that's what it says. ”

"I don't care about that, but they have a point. Architectural design is not just a matter of drawing on paper, especially when it comes to the physical properties of various materials. What really should have been ignored, and Alice was just proudly introducing the specifics of her baby.

"The entire glass curtain wall system not only needs to overcome the problems of large upper and lower spans and the construction of steel ring beams supporting the glass curtain wall, but also comprehensively considers how to effectively control the deformation and structural safety of the curtain wall under the influence of various environmental factors such as typhoons, earthquakes, high and low temperatures, and self-weight loading of the curtain wall glass section. It's a little bit of a discord, and if the Soviets fire a weather weapon at us, we'll really have to take it. ”

Speaking of which, Alice couldn't help but look out the window at the city center. Today, the 310-meter-tall Commonwealth Bank Building, the tallest building in the United States west of Chicago, stands there. Thinking that a whole 632-meter "Alice" was about to stand beside this little guy, a certain girl with the same name couldn't help the smile on the corner of her mouth. (To be continued.) )
