TALL BUILDINGS
It is difficult to distinguish the characteristics of a
building which categorize it as tall.
The outward appearance of tallness is a relative
matter.
In a typical single-storey area, a five story building
will appear tall.
In large cities, a structure must pierce the sky
around 70 to 100 stories if it is to appear tall in
comparison with its immediate neighbors.
