The main building in the proportions of Jin Mao Tower is the number eight, which in Chinese culture is associated with well-being. 88 floors (93 if you count the floors Belvedere) are divided into 16 segments, each of which is on the eighth shorter than sixteen-base. The skyscraper is built on an octagonal concrete central frame surrounded by eight huge composite columns and eight external steel columns. [
