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.

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.

Usually involved in the front end design, with a "typical" condition being that of a leadership role through either Schematic Design or Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
Usually takes on the balance of the architectural effort not executed by the "Design Architect," typically responsible for the construction documents, conforming to local codes, etc. May often be referred to as "Executive," "Associate," or "Local" Architect, however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Architect of Record" exclusively.

About Greenland Puli Center
Beginning with an international architectural competition, Greenland Puli Center was intended to be a new landmark and a new tallest building for the city of Jinan. Initially planned for a height of 260 meters, the height was increased during construction to create the city’s first supertall building. The site adjacent to Shunhe Road places the tower on prominent corner and on a highly visible location alongside major north-south thoroughfare through the heart of Jinan.
The intersection with Jingsi Road created a triangular site, and unlike many supertall projects in China where the tower may be set within a large superblock, the Greenland Puli Center responds directly to its immediate context and the tower is brought right up to the sidewalk. The overall form of the tower as a result is triangular as well, with rounded corners and then tapers as it rises upward to a rounded crown and a central spire.
The Greenland Puli Center was constructed with a composite frame composed of a reinforced concrete core and large tubular steel columns making up the perimeter with a core and outrigger system. A steel belt truss passing through two floors wraps the perimeter of the building at the 30th-31st floors where the tapering of the structure begins and the corner columns begin angling inward as they rise toward the top.
The exterior of the building is sheathed in a glass curtain wall with a strong emphasis on vertical lines through the placement of decorative fins which continue up the façade and into the crown. Once the fins reach the crown level, the vertical accents are then turned upside down with a series of concentric arches created within an open framework revealing the internal spire which then pushes through the crown to create the tower’s peak.
