Why 25 Storeys?

 Why 25 Storeys?

Day 3

Why 25 floors?

Why not 8?

Why not 10?

Mid-rise buildings:

Are easier to service

Depend less on complex mechanical systems

Are easier to evacuate

Are more human scale

High-rises maximize land value.

They also maximize dependency.

Above a certain height:

Fire trucks cannot reach upper floors.

Everything depends on internal systems.

Elevators become lifelines.

We rarely discuss this.

Why?
