UDG are one of the many architecture firms in Shanghai that have been getting fat on the Chinese skyscraper boom. The latest of the projects that they have designed is the Yunrun International Tower, a 312 metre tall office building to stand in the Chinese city of Huai'an.
Beijing already has one well known building in the form of Rem Koolhaas's looped CCTV skyscraper, but it could soon be set to get another architecturally unique development up to 400 metres tall that will trump that.
The booming city of Chongqing in China is set to get yet another supertall skyscraper thanks to Sino Land, CC Land Holdings and Chinese Estates Holdings Ltd.
Skidmore Owings and Merrill has masterplanned this huge new development called COFCO to stand in Hedong, an area of the rapidly growing city of Tianjin that has yet to see full-scale modernisation with gleaming skyscrapers.
Another unusual looking skyscraper is soon to start construction in the Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen situated near the border between the Peoples Republic and Hong Kong.
These two designs by KPF are two proposals for a new supertall tower in the Chinese city of Chongqing, the third supertall project in town by the architecture firm.
Adding to their impressive collection of super talls currently being worked on in China is Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates design for Ping An International Finance Centre in the city of Shenzhen.
These two "almost" supertall towers are the latest designs from Skidmore Owings and Merrill for the Chinese city of Nanchang in the south east of the country which now has an impressive five million inhabitants.
Over the past couple of years we've written a lot about China and its seemingly endless stream of skyscrapers that are sprouting up. There's plenty of growth there, industrialisation is happening, the population is moving from the countryside to the city but is that all? What else is behind China's skyscraper boom?
Pagodas have long been a staple of Chinese architecture over the millennia, and now Skidmore Owings and Merrill look like adding further to this tradition with their winning entry to design a skyscraper in Zhengzhou.
