We mesh aesthetic expression with strong performance to design successful high density environments which people are drawn to be part of. The tall buildings of tomorrow are changing thanks to the emergence of intelligent technologies and smart materials. But at their heart, our buildings must have a sense of place, not only at street level but also through the creation of vertical places which encourage healthy, active living and engaged communities.
