為祝賀高層建筑與都市人居學會（CTBUH）的50周年慶典，蒂森克虜伯在10月30日芝加哥世界會議中心的慶典上，發(fā)布了全球Top-50建筑名單。在會上，MULTI部門首席執(zhí)行官Michael Cesarz和研究與創(chuàng)新中心負責人Markus Jetter計劃分別對“人類交通工具的三維性”和“電梯與城市：電梯如何改變與重塑城市”這兩個話題進行討論。蒂森克虜伯稱“在開發(fā)電梯系統上起了尤為重要的作用，讓建筑師和開發(fā)商創(chuàng)造出了不起的建筑，”，并展示了包括北半球最快的電梯在內的17臺電梯，和紐約世界一號貿易中心的12臺自動扶梯，以及2022年才會啟用的哈德遜園區(qū)的40套TWIN電梯系統，這套系統可以讓兩個電梯轎廂在一條井道里獨立運行。去年，蒂森克虜伯的MULTI系統獲得了高層建筑與都市人居學會的創(chuàng)新獎，而現在，它將服務于北美地區(qū)更多的摩天大樓。
