If we take the view that buildings are like Olympic events, the tallest wins, then it loses. But architecture is not a game. Architecture is artefact. Architecture is a complex organism, part of the human condition, the form that humans build to inhabit for themselves. I believe future architecture will be the opposite of the Grollo Tower.
Architecture is space, but the concept of space has changed over the past decade or more.
Space is virtual rather than actual. We can choose to live and work anywhere in the world and yet operate from a central place somewhere else. We should build with a major concern for the environment and the impact of buildings on the environment. To build a 150-storey building is to rely on a massive amount of those fuels. Of course, the Grollos are right, architecture is emblematic.
