thyssenkrupp released its Top-50 Buildings List ,in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s (CTBUH), during its Annual Conference going on through October 30 at the World Congress Center in Chicago. During the event, MULTI CEO Michael Cesarz and Head of the Research & Innovation Center Markus Jetter planned to discuss “The Third Dimension of People Transportation” and “Lift and the City: How Elevators Change and Reinvent the Shape of Cities,” respectively. thyssenkrupp states it has “played an instrumental role in creating elevator systems that have empowered architects and developers to create awe-inspiring buildings,” providing as examples the 71 elevators — including the fastest in the Western Hemisphere — and 12 escalators at the 1,776-ft-tall One World Trade Center in NYC, and the more than 40 TWIN elevator systems, which feature two cars operating independently in one shaft, that will be in operation in NYC’s Hudson Yards by 2022. Observing that MULTI was honored with CTBUH’s Innovation Award at last year’s conference, thyssenkrupp says its vertical-transportation equipment serves many skyscrapers throughout North America.
