Actually, this is the Reiser + Umemoto design that's just won First Prize in an international competition "for a new Port and Cruise Service Center in the city of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan, ROC," created in collaboration with the late structural engineer Ysrael A. Seinuk. Construction is to start in 2012, with a 2014 completion date.
We've written before of that team's O-14 Cheese Grater tower in Dubai which apparently is still "nearing completion." (We still have a soft spot in our heart for the idea of a Lucien Lagrange-inspired knockoff for Lake Shore Drive.*)
The Kaohsiung project is another striking, form-shifting project.
For me, what's most shocking is not the avant garde design but that the press release says they expect to build it for $85,000,000. Ah, the glories of cheap labor.
Awesome man-made structure. Heavy machines used to build that stuff. Maybe it have heavy equipment used digger derrick trucks and more to have that great one. Really amaze the people ideas. Thanks
ReplyDeletePowerful technique used to construct these giants! Simple superb! thanks for sharing this with me!
ReplyDeleteConstruction Education Requirements
Construction usually is done or coordinated by general contractors, who
ReplyDeletespecialize in one type of construction such as residential or commercial
building. They take full responsibility for the complete job, except for
specified portions of the work that may be omitted from the general contract.
Although general contractors may do a portion of the work with their own crews,
they often subcontract most of the work to heavy construction or specialty
trade contractors.
