tall building design competition Guidelines
A firm-wide internal design competition was held to inaugural Walter P Moore’s Tall Building Community of Practice.
Each team was challenged to conceive the best tower that creatively integrates the structural frame with the
architecture. Two rounds of internal and external critiques by a panel of architect and developer clients helped to test
the concepts as the design evolved. Select from the designs here
