This building is much too tall. Can you imagine evacuating?

[@alvexok5523]

That is the one big issue with living on a high floor in a tall apt/condo building. It's one problem you don't have to deal with in a walk-up apartment building, or even if you're only on the 8th or 10th floor in a high-rise rather than the 50th or 60th floor. Even if there's no fire or structural emergency, what if you were needing to call the paramedics for a health emergency and the elevator was out of order? It's easier for the paramedics to get to you via stairs on the 10th floor than the 60th. Highrise buildings have their advantages too though, the higher floors are quieter and more away from traffic noise. And most highrises in NYC have doormen security and won't let any non-residents inside the building, or any visitors without the resident's permission that the outsider says they want to see

Came here looking for dynamic simulation for skycrapers, watched this for a few minutes before I realized this the Carbuncle Cup champion himself, Rafael Viñoly, "walkie talkie dude". Shame on you, Rafael Viñoly ...
