mock firms 60 story skyscraper

This semester in studio we are doing a really exciting project where we are competing in a design competition.  The project is to design a 60 story skyscraper in Stockholm Sweden.  You can read more about it here. At this point we have finished the site analysis part of the project and we are moving into the design stages.  Below are some selected pages from the site analysis research.  The overall research is about 40-50 pages long so I will not put it all up.
