Abstract

An architect knows only too well the desire to create from every high-rise project a structure with a sense of place, with an impact on the skyline, perhaps a visual symbol of a city’s growth or a corporation’s success.

Architects too seldom design high-rise office buildings around the end-user’s requirements.
