The entire world is currently focusing on skyscraper construction. Whether it’s for residential or commercial needs, there is a growing demand for multi-story buildings everywhere. In our country, cities like Hyderabad are seeing a rise in demand for such projects. While the skyscraper culture began in Western countries, China has undoubtedly taken their architecture to the next level. No other country has achieved as many marvels in the construction sector as China. Moreover, when we think of skyscrapers, we typically imagine tall buildings shooting up into the sky. However, China has redefined the concept of skyscrapers. They have shown that large buildings can not only be vertical but can also be built in circular shapes.
One of the unique buildings in China is the Guangzhou Circle. Designed by Italian architect Joseph di Pasquale, this 33-story circular building was constructed in Guangzhou, China. The skyscraper, shaped like a ring, stands at a height of 453 feet with a diameter of 164 feet. The structure has a central circle that is 157 feet wide, earning it the title of the tallest circular skyscraper in the world. The total floor area of the building is 915,000 square feet. The headquarters of the Plastic-Raw Material Trading Exchange operates from this building. Completed in 2013, the Guangzhou Circle has become a distinctive symbol of Guangzhou’s architecture.
