WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Reading their work
The distinction between enclosure and frame matters here. The outer facade twists around the tower, while Thornton Tomasetti’s core, outriggers and super-columns provide the primary structure. Architectural and structural authorship should be read together.
Credits describe the roles recorded by the project sources. They are not a ranking of firms and do not imply authorship of every part of a building.
