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.

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 Shun Hing Square
Shun Hing Square, which is also known as the Diwang Building, is built on a triangular site on Shenzhen’s main east-west corridor, Shennan Road, and is a key feature of the area known as Shenzhen’s Special Economic Zone. The tower and its nearby annex, which share a variety of visual cues, are juxtaposed in a “T” formation to accommodate mutual sightlines. The main tower holds 144,200 square meters of Grade A office space, while the accompanying 35-floor annex contains 330 high-end apartments, a parking garage, and a five-story shopping arcade podium. The wedge-shaped annex building holds a swimming pool in a 22-meter-wide opening between the towers, allowing sunlight in to brighten the façade.
The main tower was built at the incredible rate of four floors every nine days, taking just 40 months to complete from start to finish. The tower’s form resembles a pair of syringes, with distinctive rooftop lasers that give off striking beams of colored light at night. From a distance, the building’s skin appears to have simple horizontal and vertical patterns; however, upon closer inspection, smaller accents of varying color and material add a touch of complexity to the exterior. The building’s color palette includes earthen tones of natural browns and striking green glass. Shun Hing Square boasts an impressive observation deck at the 69th floor, called the Meridian View Centre, which affords exceptional views of the city.
A rectangular tower plan was implemented to accommodate an assortment of 328-square-meter office spaces. The design also strove to encompass the maximum fire compartment size per floor. This special consideration resulted in a structure with a height to width ratio of 1:8, an extraordinary feat in this typhoon and earthquake design zone, where buildings are typically subjected to intense overturning forces.
