Split Highrise
Designed with biometric considerations in mind, the Split Highrise appears to have been sliced and pulled apart. Skycourts and walkways with deciduous trees and vegetation on the south side block the hot summer sun, while allowing the winter sun to heat the building. The building cores, offset to the west side, block the heat from the western sun. Rooftop gardens keep the roof cool. Large expanses of glass throughout the building allow for daylighting.
