Introduction

In 1974, SOM architectural design firm completed the Willis Tower located in Chicago, United States. The building is 442.3 meters tall with 110 floors, including 108 above ground and 3 underground, covering an area of 416,000 square meters. The Willis Tower once held the record for the tallest building in the world, and it is now the ninth tallest skyscraper in the world. Despite no longer being the tallest building, it still occupies a prominent place in the Chicago skyline. The observation deck on the 103rd floor can be reached by a 70-second elevator ride. Visitors can enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and experience the thrill of standing on the fully transparent glass balcony weighing 5 tons and overlooking the streets of Chicago. Standing on the fully transparent suspended balcony at a height of 412 meters is an exhilarating experience.
