Height
1
To Tip:
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest point of the building, irrespective of material or function of the highest element (i.e., including antennae, flagpoles, signage and other functional-technical equipment).

Architectural:
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the architectural top of the building, including spires, but not including antennae, signage, flag poles or other functional-technical equipment. This measurement is the most widely utilized and is employed to define the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) rankings of the "World's Tallest Buildings."

Floors
Above Ground
The number of floors above ground should include the ground floor level and be the number of main floors above ground, including any significant mezzanine floors and major mechanical plant floors. Mechanical mezzanines should not be included if they have a significantly smaller floor area than the major floors below. Similarly, mechanical penthouses or plant rooms protruding above the general roof area should not be counted. Note: CTBUH floor counts may differ from published accounts, as it is common in some regions of the world for certain floor levels not to be included (e.g., the level 4, 14, 24, etc. in Hong Kong).

Name of Complex
A complex is a group of buildings which are designed and built as pieces of a greater development.
Type
CTBUH collects data on two major types of tall structures: 'Buildings' and 'Telecommunications / Observation Towers.' A 'Building' is a structure where at least 50% of the height is occupied by usable floor area. A 'Telecommunications / Observation Tower' is a structure where less than 50% of the structure's height is occupied by usable floor area. Only 'Buildings' are eligible for the CTBUH 'Tallest Buildings' lists.

Function
A single-function tall building is defined as one where 85% or more of its usable floor area is dedicated to a single usage. Thus a building with 90% office floor area would be said to be an "office" building, irrespective of other minor functions it may also contain.
A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (or uses), where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Functions are denoted on CTBUH "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.
office / hotel
Structural Material
Steel
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from steel. Note that a building of steel construction with a floor system of concrete planks or concrete slab on top of steel beams is still considered a “steel” structure as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.
Reinforced Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete which has been cast in place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars.
Precast Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system are constructed from steel reinforced concrete which has been precast as individual components and assembled together on-site.
Mixed-Structure
Utilizes distinct systems (e.g. steel, concrete, timber), one on top of the other. For example, a steel/concrete indicates a steel structural system located on top of a concrete structural system, with the opposite true of concrete/steel.
Composite
A combination of materials (e.g. steel, concrete, timber) are used together in the main structural elements. Examples include buildings which utilize: steel columns with a floor system of reinforced concrete beams; a steel frame system with a concrete core; concrete-encased steel columns; concrete-filled steel tubes; etc. Where known, the CTBUH database breaks out the materials used in a composite building’s core, columns, and floor spanning separately.

About Diwang International Fortune Center
Encouraged by the city government of Liuzhou, Diwang International Fortune Center was from the onset designed to be not only the new tallest tower in the city, but also Liuzhou’s first tower to exceed 300 meters. Seen as a way to brand the city as a new international business center, the tower was constructed in the middle of the city center located on a peninsula surrounded by the meandering Liujiang River.
Diwang International Fortune Center is the tallest in a complex of five buildings known as the International Fortune Center and is comprised of office and hotel spaces with a banking hall arranged around a large atrium inside the adjacent podium. The tower is constructed with a composite frame comprised of large cylindrical steel columns encased in concrete. The large columns aligned to the exterior allow for only four columns on each side of the tower and cantilevered corners on each floorplate. The tower is offset from a retail podium base, allowing the exterior on two sides to meet the ground at both the sidewalk and an elevated plaza linking the complex to a large public park to the south. These two edges feature entrances marked by large canopies extending outward from slits in the center of the building’s symmetrical facades. The canopies are positioned between two vertical column lines which shift in position on floors 4 through 6 to allow for larger public entrances to the main lobby below.
Diwang International Fortune Center has a stone clad base giving way to a glass curtain wall covering the remainder of the tower. The four corners of the tower are chamfered and tapper inward as the tower rises, sculpting the building throughout its height and adding distinction to the crown. The centralized location of the tower adjacent to open spaces ensures that Diwang International Fortune Center will remain a focal point of the Liuzhou skyline and reinforces the role of the tower creating a new landmark for the city.
