retrofit


I see this. Its pretty, kinda cool looking, gives a nice skyline, but overall I think there's a lot of 'wasted potential' (good thing buildings don't have feelings). Rooftop space could be converted, relatively cheaply into a green roof. The side of the building is wasted space, maybe for solar panels. Even a skyscraper's most inherent characteristic, its height, could be put to work (in this case, at a much larger scale). All of this is known and acknowledged, but then why isn't it happening?
