Reference excerpt

The Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center (Chinese: 浙江财富金融中心) is an office skyscraper complex in the Qianjiang New City district of Hangzhou, China. Built between 2007 and 2011, the complex consists of two towers, with the tallest (Tower 1) standing at 258 m (846 ft) tall with 52 floors, which is the current 9th tallest building in Hangzhou.

History

Architecture It is adjacent to the Hangzhou International Conference Center and Hangzhou Grand Theater to the east, the Civic Center to the north, and faces Hangzhou GT Land Plaza across Fuchun Road. The developer is Zhejiang Tefulong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and the architect in chief is John C. Portman Jr.. John Portman's design was completed in June 2005 and won the bid. It is adjacent to Fuchun Road, Jiefang East Road, Xiangzhang Street and Wuxing Road. Construction began on July 17, 2007 and was completed on November 15, 2011. The project has a designed service life of 50 years and cost RMB 2 billion. The total construction area is 210,000 square meters (170,000 square meters above ground and 40,000 square meters underground). It also features a large underground parking garage. The West Building and the East Building are 212 meters and 148 meters high respectively, and both have sloping roofs, giving each other a dynamic sculptural feel. Both buildings have helicopter landing pads on top for business activities or emergencies. The West Building was once the tallest completed building and skyscraper in Hangzhou until it was surpassed in 2017 by the 279.7-meter-high Bodi Center Building C located in Qianjiang Century City. The East Building of Zhejiang Fortune Financial Center is the Zhejiang Branch of China Construction Bank . Accor Group opened the Hangzhou Qianjiang New Town Mercure Hotel on the 52nd to 57th floors of the West Building of Zhejiang Fortune Financial Center.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center 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 Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center 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 Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center 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 Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center

In research: Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center 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 Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center 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: Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2011 establishments in China, Buildings and structures completed in 2011, Buildings and structures in Hangzhou, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Zhe Jiang Fortune Financial Center 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.
