Empire World Towers:

EWT is listed as two separate diagrams in the database (one for each tower), but these two towers will clearly be bifurcated towers, connected by a large parking/terrace structure at the base, and connected by skybridges. This should be as one diagram like the Petronas Towers, no?

bobdreamz describes it here:

I have already made a single diagram for it. Just need the database correction.

Well, I can't do this one since I even believe that the Petronas are two different towers. In my personal opinion, in order for a connected twin tower complex to count as only one tower, they must be connected at least 1/3 up the way by their floors. Can someone get to this? I just can't bring myself to split these two.

Can't see any skybridges in the rendering.

^Only thing I can see indicating skybridges in that rendering is the shadow of the buildings.

Still, someone would make the argument that even apart from the skybridges, the entire connection of the first dozen bottom floors, or so, is enough to qualify it as one building. I do not agree. In fact, I believe the Petronas are two equal (if even connected) and separate structures.

I didn't see the shadow.

LMich: For the purpose of the diagrams you need to pair up buildings that are connected like Petronas is so you can draw them.
Imagine how silly would it look with half a skybridge and podium on each drawing.
