Chief architect of Shanghai Tower draws up blueprint for Shanghai

“We thought that if we created a building that uses less energy over the next hundred years, we have a significant feature to add to the skyline of Shanghai,” said Marshall when recalling the scene of the design competition for the Shanghai Tower in 2006. As the world’s highest sustainable building completed in 2016, it was conferred the LEED-CS Platinum certification - known as the Academy Awards for green buildings.
