NEWSThe Top 6 Best MetalBuildingsMetal is one of the most necessarymaterials for humans, which is usedin almost all areas of life in its variousforms. So, for example, stainlesssteel melted for the first time on August 13, 1913,in Sheffield is used both for the manufactureof parts of complex mechanisms and fordecorating facades and interiors of buildings.We have selected five iconic buildings built ona metal frame.The Eiffel TowerThe construction of Gustave Eiffel was madein 1889 in honor of the centenary of the FrenchRevolution. Interestingly, the metal buildingsfirst impressions of the local community fromthe unusual tower were extremely negative.According to the initial project, the Eiffel Towerwas supposed to stand for 20 years, afterwhich they planned to dismantle it. However,the popularity of the building exceeded allexpectations: crowds of tourists admired thecreation of an engineering genius and a hotrolled coil producer, so this wonderful miracleof architecture delights Parisians and visitors tothis day. The height of the tower is 324 metersand its construction took place as fast aspossible thanks to the use of metal structures.Empire State BuildingThe 103-story office metal buildings skyscraperis located in New York City on Manhattan Island.Its height is 381.3 m. This is one of the tallestskyscrapers in the world. The architecturebelongs to the Art Deco style. The buildingweighs 331 thousand tons. It is erected on atwo-story foundation and supported by a steelstructure weighing 54.4 thousand tons. Theskyscraper frame consists of hundreds of steelsections several meters long and several tonsweighing.Sydney Opera HouseThis metal buildings building has gainedpopularity due to the unusual shape of theroof. Implementing such a project becamepossible thanks to the use of metal structures.Looking at the roof of the Sydney OperaHouse, you understand that any project, eventhe most sophisticated, can be implementedin practice, and all thanks to the flexibility ofthe metal and its strength characteristics. Theconstruction of the Sydney Opera House took14 years and $ 102 million, but the result wasbeyond all expectations.48
30 St Mary AxIt is one of the contradictory symbols of modernLondon, noticeably standing out on the cityskyline. The design of the metal buildingsskyscraper consists of a steel frame and a glassfacade with diamond-shaped panels. Designersmade the most effective use of sunlight andnatural ventilation, as a result of which thebuilding consumes half as much energy asmany similar-sized skyscrapers.Main Building of Moscow StateUniversityThe height of the 34-story building is morethan 183 m. At the time of construction, it wasthe tallest building in Europe. The supportingsystem (the foundations and the framework) ofthe Main Building of Moscow State Universitywas developed by the Soviet designerand scientist Nikolay Nikitin. He proposedfundamentally new technical solutions: a boxlikefoundation, flexible columns on the groundfloor of the building, cross-shaped metalcolumns, and many others. These innovationsmade it possible to build a high-rise buildingof variable height in difficult ground conditions.Eurasia TowerIt consists of an underground part and twointerconnected metal buildings groundstructures: a 75-story tower and a two-storypodium. Today it is the tallest building in Europewith a steel frame – its height is 309 m. The mainadvantage of technological solutions based onthe use of a metal frame is a lower loss coefficientfor columns, beams, shafts, and other structuralelements. With the external compactness of thetower, the rooms inside are spacious and bright.49
