This skyscraper is 508 metres high and has 101 floors. An interesting
feature is the steel pendulum which hangs from the 92nd floor and acts
as a damper against strong winds. It consists of 41 circular steel plates.
Each plate is 125 millimetres high. Together they form a 5.5 metre
diameter sphere. Every year, there is a race up the 2,046 steps from floors
1 to 9 1 . The record is just under 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
