Shanghai Shimao Festival City

Shanghai Shimao Festival City is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Shanghai Shimao Festival City rather than just read about it. In short: Shanghai Shimao Festival City (Chinese: 上海世茂广场), previously known as Shimao International Plaza (Chinese: 上海世茂国际广场), is a 333.3 m (1,094 ft) tall skyscraper of 60 stories in Shanghai's Huangpu District. It was completed in 2006 under the design of Ingenhoven, Overdiek und Partner, East China Architecture and Design Institute.

Key takeaways

Shanghai Shimao Festival City belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Shanghai Shimao Festival City to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Shanghai Shimao Festival City from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Shanghai Shimao Festival City (Chinese: 上海世茂广场), previously known as Shimao International Plaza (Chinese: 上海世茂国际广场), is a 333.3 m (1,094 ft) tall skyscraper of 60 stories in Shanghai's Huangpu District. It was completed in 2006 under the design of Ingenhoven, Overdiek und Partner, East China Architecture and Design Institute. Shanghai Shimao Festival City has two spires on its top, which make its total construction height to 333.3 metres. Most of the building (the upper 48 floors) houses, Conrad Shanghai, a luxury hotel with 728 rooms known as Le Royal Méridien Shanghai prior to January 1, 2022. The building also includes a 9 floor shopping mall and 3 floors of exclusive clubs. Shanghai Shimao Group bought the original developer of the tower, Wan Xiang Group, in 2001 and the name of the building was changed.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Shanghai Shimao Festival City

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Shanghai Shimao Festival City claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Shanghai Shimao Festival City before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Shanghai Shimao Festival City ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Shanghai Shimao Festival City

In research: Shanghai Shimao Festival City appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Shanghai Shimao Festival City in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Shanghai Shimao Festival City is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2006 establishments in Shanghai, Buildings and structures completed in 2006, Huangpu, Shanghai, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Shanghai Shimao Festival City outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
