Integrating Arcades in High-Rise Towers

Integrating arcade spaces in skyscrapers over 500 meters brings unique social and economic benefits to urban architecture. Positioned at various heights, these arcades provide open, communal spaces that break the monotony of traditional high-rise environments. Designing these areas requires addressing structural challenges like wind resistance, while ensuring accessibility through high-speed elevators and “sky lobby” transit hubs. High-rise arcades also enhance user experience by offering panoramic city views, natural light, and space for leisure. As architectural icons, they attract visitors and drive commerce, creating vibrant, multifunctional urban hubs within the towering heights of modern cities.
