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).
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."
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).

Usually involved in the front end design, with a "typical" condition being that of a leadership role through either Schematic Design or Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
Usually takes on the balance of the architectural effort not executed by the "Design Architect," typically responsible for the construction documents, conforming to local codes, etc. May often be referred to as "Executive," "Associate," or "Local" Architect, however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Architect of Record" exclusively.

Other Consultant refers to other organizations which provided significant consultation services for a building project (e.g. wind consultants, environmental consultants, fire and life safety consultants, etc).
Material Supplier refers to organizations which supplied significant systems/materials for a building project (e.g. elevator suppliers, facade suppliers, etc).

Located across the Huangpu River from Pudong, the Sinar Mas Center is a complex designed as a mixed-use community with three towers of over 100 meters in height. Tower 1, the tallest of the cluster, is a supertall office building constructed with a composite frame. Like many buildings constructed during this time period in China, Sinar Mas Center utilizes tubular steel columns encased in concrete for the perimeter framework and a concrete structural core. Floor plates spanning the distance between the perimeter and the core are then framed with steel beams, allowing for column free workspaces.
The tower’s design takes on an organic form, with the footprint shaped like a magnolia flower and then extruded upward for the entire height of the building. As the building rises from the ground, the structure bows outward with the floors gradually increasing in size until midway up the tower where the form then begins to taper inward. At the widest point, a belt truss spanning the height of two floors wraps around the structure’s perimeter. Each of the tower’s four sides has a concave curve, which increases in intensity as the building rises and culminates in a sculpted crown. The four corners of the building are rounded as well, creating no flat surfaces on the exterior curtain wall.
The 422,791 square meter complex includes China’s first W branded hotel and a sizable retail component located in a podium three stories tall, plus 2 additional floors underground and spanning the block between the three towers. The site plan was designed to function as a public space, with multiple entrances to integrate the block with the local surroundings. When completed, the Sinar Mas Center 1 became the tallest building in the Puxi area of Shanghai.
