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
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 Excellence Century Plaza Tower 4
Located at a key site in Shenzhen’s central business district’s south east corner, Excellence Century Plaza is a dense, mixed-use project comprised of three office towers and one hotel tower. The towers spring from a four-story retail podium, which links the complex horizontally to adjacent streets at a human scale, and is supported by three subterranean levels of parking.
The four towers are designed as variations on a theme of metal and blue glass curtain walls, shaped as jeweled prisms carved slightly at their exterior and interior corners, orienting them both inward and outward. These prisms are articulated by polygonal forms creating series of large diamonds into which LED lights are integrated, accentuating the diagonal lines at night. The prism motif is also carried through to the building interiors where the lobby ceilings reflect the faceted design accentuated by clever lighting schemes. Tower 1 is the tallest of the four towers, conceived as first among equals in a harmonious grouping joined physically, functionally, and socially by the podium.
