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?
