Abstract:
Conversion of a supermarket and a two-story office building into two high-rise structures presented a number of challenges for the designers. The task was complicated by the need to use the existing structural framework and to minimize or eliminate interruptions in the operation of the existing business. In addition, economy and the architectural appearance of the facades were factors that could not be ignored.
