Note: As this project is architecturally topped out, the data is based on the most reliable information currently available. This data is thus subject to change until the building has completed and all information can be confirmed and ratified by the CTBUH.
This project is a redesign and will replace Nanning China Resources Tower (Previous)

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.
The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
The Engineer of Record takes the balance of the engineering effort not executed by the “Design Engineer,” typically responsible for construction documents, conforming to local codes, etc.
Other Consultant refers to other organizations which provided significant consultation services for a building project (e.g. wind consultants, environmental consultants, fire and life safety consultants, etc).
These are firms that consult on the design of a building's façade. May often be referred to as "Cladding," "Envelope," "Exterior Wall," or "Curtain Wall" Consultant, however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Façade Consultant" exclusively.
Material Supplier refers to organizations which supplied significant systems/materials for a building project (e.g. elevator suppliers, facade suppliers, etc).

Highest Special-Purpose Spaces
Since humans first began constructing tall buildings, history has been cluttered with claims of all manner of “highest” records. In this study, we examine those...
Located in the fast-growing city of Nanning, the Nanning China Resources Tower tower acts as both the literal and symbolic anchor for a larger master plan development that includes retail, residential, and commercial projects along Minzu Avenue; the primary east-west artery for the city’s future expansion. The project is composed of a compound massing that represents a marriage of programmatic efficiency with sculptural expression, providing an identifiable silhouette for the city as it aggressively grows to the east from its historical center. The tower will establish a new standard for sustainability and sophisticated detail as it attracts international attention.
Inspired by the crystalline forms that represent the strength and timeless beauty commonly associated with the region; the tower’s architectural expression employs faceted and tapering geometries that establish a prominent identity along the skyline. Designed to LEED Gold standards, the building is encased in floor-to-ceiling performance glass with integrated ceramic patterns that enhance energy performance without sacrificing natural light or views. The tower’s base features a large south facing lobby and landscaped plaza that offer internal access to local subway traffic, the adjacent retail complex, and the new luxury hotel. A monumental sky terrace affords views of the surrounding mountains; while the tapering form culminates with an illuminated beacon of light visible in all directions.
The interconnected podium and basement levels form a cohesive mixed-use development that provides the ability to share mechanical systems, parking, and underground service roads for the entire complex. The tower itself will utilize the highest quality systems and materials, emphasizing longevity and performance as fundamental to the overall building design. Through the integration of these elements, a vision of a sustainable urban future is realized through the design of the Nanning China Resources Tower.
