AURA is a good case in point. It instantly made the skyline look bigger due to its placement. The eye instinctually travels to it and, by extension, we started thinking of the skyline as more than the CBD despite not much existing between the CBD and AURA.
If AURA had been built in the CBD, the skyline wouldn't have gone up as many notches as it did. European skylines (La Defense excluded) appear far larger than they are because their skyscrapers are scattered all over the place. Frankfurt?
