"Architecture is not only about making a statement, but about making a statement with purpose."
While construction activities around the world are gradually grinding to a halt, works on Shanghai's tallest building have just begun despite the grim world economic outlook. The 632-meter building designed by San Francisco-based Gensler Architecture, Design and Planning Worldwide will dominate the city's skyline once it's completed. If architecture is all about making a statement, then this ground breaking work can be seen as a testament to its country's financial health despite the worsening global economic crisis.
