Man, this is flying up.
honest ask: what do you mean by "better than the four seasons b/c it's steel?" both are steel frame, glass-clad towers. no?
YesFour Seasons was concrete, no?
Full disclosure -- Yea!!But returning to the question of concrete vs. steel, what is the value judgement in play here? Is it just that steel is more fun to watch going up?
Full disclosure -- Yea!!
I can pour concrete into wooden forms and make concrete pads and walls -- climbing out on a steel girder with not a whole lot below to affix it to a vertical -- that's a different level of excitement -- a bit like watching someone run on a track or in a field [concrete] versus watching someone climb rock with minimal support
On the other hand the Romans did some amazing things with concrete [e.g. the Pantheon] -- so it is a value judgement
No of course not in detail -- but fundamentally -- yes I have several times in building decks raised quite high above the surroundingsSo you can do this?:
I think it is that steel simply rises faster. So people get their height fetish satisfied more quickly.But returning to the question of concrete vs. steel, what is the value judgement in play here? Is it just that steel is more fun to watch going up?
Jeff -- perhaps its that the steel framework is always way ahead of the rest of the building -- so that your imagination has more reignI think it is that steel simply rises faster. So people get their height fetish satisfied more quickly.
You are talking about 121 Seaport Blvd most likely, but I think there is not much similarity aside from the oval shaped floor plate.There is a shorter / similar shaped building in the seaport (I'm sure someone in aB will reference it) that, quite frankly, I find very unappealing. I'll reserved judgment on this one until it gets closer to completion.
