Comparative Analysis of Space Efficiency in Skyscrapers with Prismatic, Tapered, and Free Forms

Buildings
This study offers a thorough comparative analysis of space efficiency in skyscrapers across three distinct forms: prismatic, tapered, and free. By examining case studies from each form category, this research investigates how architectural and structural

The Impact of Education (Level of Knowledge) on the Prevalence of Obesity in Different Urban Environments

REGION
We investigate the impact of high-rise buildings on the prevalence of obesity in the US during 2011-2020 stratified by educated vs. non-educated populations. We use a quadratic specification that accounts for non-monotonic variation.
