The Shadowless Skyscraper

As land becomes increasingly valuable, more cities are looking upwards to accommodate growth. 高 建筑 创建 他们自己的 挑战 然而. But one key challenge – shadows and darkness – 可能很快就会解决. Architects such as Jean Nouvel and Jeanne Gang are experimenting with several approaches, including moving panels and curved windows, to reflect dispersed light into spaces that would otherwise be shrouded in darkness. Cities have long enshrined access to direct sunlight in their building codes, something that was done in direct response to the well-being of residents, but that has also limited vertical growth. These efforts to 创建 shadowless skyscraper could support greater density while simultaneously contributing to more livable spaces in the skyscraper city.
