Thanks for the interesting perspective. The ratio of core to floor area never ceases to amaze me. Clearly, vertical circulation and associated waiting/alighting floor areas are essential to the functionality of a tower, but, wow, is a lot of space dedicated to this. I wonder if we will ever move to double-decker elevators and double-level ground floor lobbies as a way to save space?
