Height
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."

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).

Floors
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).

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.
residential / office
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 Hengqin International Finance Center
Hengqin International Finance Center is a pioneer development on Hengqin Island in Zhuhai, which, as part of the Pearl River Delta mega-region, is in the process of developing into a financial center. When completed, the tower will function as a focal point for the growing central business district. The tower is comprised of four volumes that shoot up out of the podium at its base, meant to symbolize the convergence of Zhuhai, Macau, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen—each major cities within the Pearl River Delta.
The building draws inspiration from Nine Dragons, a well-known thirteenth century painting from the Southern Sung Dynasty in which flood dragons—mythological Chinese creatures—emerge commandingly from the sea. In ancient Chinese literature, flood dragons are magical creatures capable of invoking storms and are often used to describe an emergent power—an apt symbol for a building devoted to the development of an experimental financial zone.
At the base of the tower, a huge canopy envelops the building’s entrance and sweeps upward. This fluid design allows the retail podium to merge with the tower without an abrupt transition. In this way, the roof of the podium also forms one of the tower’s elevations. The façades are clad in glass and metal panels. As they rise, each of the four components exhibit slight undulations, which gives the impression that they are weaving around one another, a visual allusion to the building’s inspiration. Each section has its own roof, with a roofline slanted towards the center of the building—a symbolic convergence of the nearby cities. Hengqin International Finance Center’s unique design is worthy of its prominent status as the focal point of the fast-expanding Zhuhai development.
