Q1.6: The rules state that: "The client requests one tower to be for residential purposes while the other is to be for commercial use." Then states that: "The client has given you, the engineer and the designer, the ability to decide how the remaining stories in the building will be rented (residential, office, etc.)." Are we allowed to determine what uses each floor has or must we maintain only commercial on one tower and only residential on the other tower. Also, when the rules state: "The skybridges will be leased as a retail space" is it only the skybridge itself or the entire skybridge floor?

Question

Accepted Answer

A: One tower has to be entirely commercial and the other residential. It is up to the engineer to decide on the assignment. Note that the lowermost and the two uppermost floor levels are retail spaces. All the sky bridges, and not the entire sky bridge floor, will be leased as retail space.
