Architectural designSummary: On a whistle-stop tour of some of Zaha Hadid Architects’ skyscrapers around the world, principal Patrik Schumacher describes how the typology and philosophy behind high-rise towers needs to change. Currently most towers have segmented, separated, sealed, blind-to-one-another floors. He argues for an architecture that, like cathedrals, takes the viewer's mind soaring upwards, urges designers to encourage roaming, and speculates on the emergence of ‘interior urbanism’ in respect to these buildings.
