Between that and the outer layer, nine indoor gardens at different levels will provide public space for Shanghai residents. The tower will feature the world's highest non-enclosed observation deck.
The design of the glass façade will reduce wind loads on the building by 24%, meaning less construction materials are needed, the twisting feature will collect rainwater to be used for the tower's air conditioning and heating systems. Wind turbines will generate power for the building.
