Each glass panel weighs a record-breaking 11.5 tons, making it the heaviest curtain wall glass panel in the world. The 276 "super glass" panels create the first case in China and globally of a self-supporting curtain wall project, capable of withstanding a horizontal displacement of 120mm during a strong earthquake.
