Function
A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (or uses), where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Functions are denoted on CTBUH "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.
hotel / office
Structural Material
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from steel. Note that a building of steel construction with a floor system of concrete planks or concrete slab on top of steel beams is still considered a “steel” structure as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.
Reinforced Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete which has been cast in place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars.
Precast Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system are constructed from steel reinforced concrete which has been precast as individual components and assembled together on-site.
Mixed-Structure
Utilizes distinct systems (e.g. steel, concrete, timber), one on top of the other. For example, a steel/concrete indicates a steel structural system located on top of a concrete structural system, with the opposite true of concrete/steel.
Composite
A combination of materials (e.g. steel, concrete, timber) are used together in the main structural elements. Examples include buildings which utilize: steel columns with a floor system of reinforced concrete beams; a steel frame system with a concrete core; concrete-encased steel columns; concrete-filled steel tubes; etc. Where known, the CTBUH database breaks out the materials used in a composite building’s core, columns, and floor spanning separately.

About Chongqing IFS T1
Located in the Jiangbei District, just north of where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers meet, Chongqing IFS T1 is at the center of a newly established business district. The location for the five tower complex was originally platted as four individual development sites on a hillside, separated by roads and topographical elevation changes. These were combined into a single development masterplan with a mix of office, hotel and retail uses with a total area of nearly 600,000 square meters.
At the base of the towers is a 102,000 square meter retail podium featuring upscale boutiques, fine dining, a cinema and an ice skating rink. Tower 1, the tallest of the cluster, is located at the southwest corner of the complex and is a mixed-use office and hotel building constructed with a composite frame featuring a concrete core and steel perimeter columns encased in concrete and floor plates framed with steel beams. The structure has two belt trusses warping the perimeter at the 28th and 52nd levels, each of which spans a depth of two floors. The tower is clad in sleek glass curtain wall façade with metal panels creating two vertical accent lines on each side. The curtain wall extends well above the level of the main roof to crown the tower. The rectilinear footprint of the tower 1, as with the other towers in complex, is rotated relative to the local street grid to maximize views of the nearby rivers.
The complex redefined the newly established central business district of Chongqing in an area that was previously anticipated for exclusively residential development. With Chongqing International Finance Square near three iconic bridges as well as light rail lines numbers 2 and 9, the complex is well connected to greater Chongqing as serves as a new focal point for the city.
