Indeed, the better high-rise buildings carry the universal traits of simplicity of thought and clarity of expression.) p+ b5 y, ]+ v8 \; r* q2 |; Z7 D
It does not follow that there is no room for grand thoughts. Indeed, it is with such grand thoughts that the new family of high-rise buildings has evolved. Perhaps more important, the new concepts of but a few years ago have become commonplace in today’ s technology.

若已测出荷载量达数千万磅重,那么在高层建筑设计中就没有多少可以进行极其复杂的构思余地了。确实,较好的高层建筑普遍具有构思简单、表现明晰的特点。
0 C2 ~$ L, l- Q4 A5 Y* S 这并不是说没有进行宏观构思的余地。实际上,正是因为有了这种宏观的构思,新奇的高层建筑体系才得以发展,可能更重要的是:几年以前才出现的一些新概念在今天的技术中已经变得平常了。6 n9 V7 n) A. {. T* |! L
