The Tower Again

Hall twin of site.ssm_halls the-tower-again - the claim on the wall is the hall claim, verbatim.

Glass and Steel: The Exterior
The promotional hero at full size - a supertall curtain wall climbing out of the gallery light, glass and steel from plaza to spire. Stand at the base and look up.
The Wells: Interior Cutaway
The tower opened top to bottom - elevator wells, sky lobbies, mechanical floors, the concrete core: the hidden city inside the shaft that makes the height work.
The Damper
The tuned mass damper as sculpture - hundreds of tons swinging gently so the tower does not.
Office Floor, Residential Floor
Two floor plates at the same scale - why the modern supertall is thin, and who lives at 400 meters.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
The top 10 and the CBD wall both hang here - the tower's own hall keeps the tallest views always on.
