Project evidence, construction records and the limits of what is documented. A named consultant’s role is kept separate from the architect, contractor and local engineer of record.
KPF describes 56 perimeter columns converging into 28 toward the upper and lower zones and eventually meeting at the crown. The geometry transforms the regular shaft into a more tightly triangulated upper structure.
The architect credits prefabricated steel and column units with supporting construction and clear interiors. At the sky hall the diagrid becomes part of the room’s enclosure, joining the structural arrangement to the visitor’s view of the city.

| Topic | Recorded information | How to interpret it |
|---|---|---|
| Structural system | Perimeter columns transitioning into diagrid [source] | The frame description needs to distinguish gravity support from wind and earthquake resistance. Read the engineering guide ↗ |
| Main structural material | Not confirmed | A material label does not establish steel grade, concrete strength, fire protection or connection details. Read the engineering guide ↗ |
| Basement levels | Not confirmed | Basement count does not establish pile depth, founding stratum, bearing pressure or the excavation sequence. Read the engineering guide ↗ |
| Elevator count | 59 [source] | Car count does not establish passenger capacity, speed, zoning, redundancy or peak traffic performance. Read the engineering guide ↗ |
| Construction start | Not confirmed | A start year can refer to enabling works, foundations or the main construction contract. Read the engineering guide ↗ |
| Structural topping out | Not confirmed | Topping out marks a structural milestone; facade work, commissioning and occupancy can follow later. Read the engineering guide ↗ |

Dividing architectural height by floor count would include the crown and any unequal floor heights. It cannot be used as a typical floor-to-floor dimension, a measure of slenderness or a structural design input.
Foundation tests, core and column sizes, construction-stage stability, creep and shortening allowances, wind-tunnel results and facade movement tolerances need project-specific evidence. Their absence here does not imply that the project lacked those studies.
Height bars use the same scale. They do not represent building shape. Measurement source ↗
