great design! it brings up a question i've had for awhile: Does anyone know the wind and earthquake resistance ratings required by law in Philly? It seems irrelevant....but i know seismologists have claimed for decades that the east coast is overdue for a major quake. I'm just curious with this unique building design....and CITC placing the core at the corner of the building....and FMC being built out of concrete for the top half...etc. Do Philly skyscrapers have to meet similar ratings to west coast buildings despite not being in a traditionally active quake zone?
