This is Tomorrow Square in Minecraft.
I built this in minecraft, it was pretty hard to get the shapes right (especially the crown) but i feel i did a good job pulling it off. I hope you enjoy the build. I plan to build an interior, hopefully in the future. (because i could also do it in the past)
Wikipedia IRL explanation:Tomorrow Square(Chinese:æ��å¤©å»£å ´,Chinese:æ��天广å�º)is thefifth tallest buildinginShanghai,China. It is located in thePuxidistrict, close toPeople's Square. It is about 285m (934ft) tall and has 55 floors.
This multi-purpose building contains a 342-roomMarriotthotel, and 255 executiveapartmentunits. It was completed on 1 October 2003. Starting from a square base, the all-concrete Tomorrow Square tower transforms itself into a diagonal square as it rises to a peak. Engineers of the exterior vertical support system were faced with a unique challenge as a result of this unusual shape. They chose flat slabs for the hotel floors and beam and slab construction for the office floors. A combination of sheer walls and frame action stabilizes the slender tower laterally against wind and earthquake forces. The foundations are 80-metre-long bored piles supporting a column mat.
