Thread Update: Relating to floor count and distinction between mid and high rise.
1) Been doing some research, and I've noticed many 12 floor structures are really high rises in the grand scheme of thing. This is due to the increased floor heights over the years, and mechanical. For sake of classifying them
A) 12 floors or greater, and/or 120 ft or greater go in highrise compilation.
B) 1-11 floors go in midrise compilation.
Usually sources such as Emporis, and CTBUH also list 12 floors as the minimum for a highrise, so to keep with the trend, thats how they will be classified in terms of the content of the thread. Also in terms of the literature, much of the news tends to refer to them as high rises, with the trend of midrises being 6-11 floors and low rises being less than 6 floors.
2) Updated first post with the info along with mid/low compilation.
