Question about building complexes
There's something puzzling me: shouldn't the following building complexes have a single entry for them instead of two, since they share a significantly tall common base (when compared with the height of the building itself)?
JR Central Station (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=714, http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=715) Youth Olympics Center (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=27522, http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=44426) 1 Shoreline Plaza (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=3770, http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=3929 Lamar Towers (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=61152, http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=61153) The Headquarters Business Park (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=98706, http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=98707) |
I would argue that those are all separate buildings, except for the last complex. But that's just my opinion.

I think every complex is a unique case, and the editors, along with the illustrator, can decide if or how to break it up into separate components.
I believe a big part of it has to do with the part of the world the building is from. Hong Kong seems to be able to have multiple towers on a single base, while Toronto doesn't do that, unless the towers are joined together higher up above the podium, such as a sky-bridge. |

Another thing: for some weird reason, the smaller (hotel) tower in that Nagoya complex, even having been already drawn (http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?buildingID=714), doesn't have the drawing as primary, making it one of the tallest undrawn completed buildings in the database. |
I agree that 2 towers (or more) from 1 base should be broken into multiple entries. Another entry that breaks this "rule" is: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=4013
Because both drawings appear in the primary, the second tower has no drawing... |

However, I still say that if there is a base that is significantly tall connecting two or more structures, and that is significantly tall (I would guess around 1/4) when compared with the total height of the buildings; then those should have a single entry in the database. P.S: I have found a case of the opposite problem; completely separate parts of a complex that have a single entry for them. For example: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=12730, where there is no visible connection between the two parts. |
