SYNOPSIS
Architectural Ingenuity:
⚬ Skyscrapers allow architects to showcase their creativity through
iconic designs that can become landmarks.
Space Optimization:
⚬ Efficiently utilizing limited urban space is a critical aspect,
requiring innovative floor plans and vertical design strategies.
Urban Integration:
⚬ Skyscrapers impact the urban fabric. Designing them involves
considering how the building interacts with the surrounding
environment, public spaces, and transportation systems.
Mixed-Use Functionality:
⚬ Many modern skyscrapers encompass mixed-use spaces, combining
residential, commercial, and recreational functions within a single
structure.
LIMITATION
Structural Constraints:
⚬ Balancing height with structural stability poses challenges in
material selection and load distribution.
Foundation Challenges:
⚬ Building tall structures requires strong and deep foundations, often
limited by the geological conditions of the site.
Wind Loads:
⚬ Tall buildings are susceptible to wind forces, necessitating
aerodynamic designs and structural considerations to mitigate
sway.
LIMITATION
Technological Advancements:
• Rapid technological changes require skyscraper designs to adapt,
posing challenges in incorporating the latest innovations.
Cost Implications:
⚬ Building skyscrapers involves significant costs, including
specialized materials and construction methods, impacting overall
feasibility.
