point blocks (high-rise buildings, multistory buildings, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: High-rise buildings usually in tower form with apartments or offices grouped around a central circulation core; use when distinguishing from "slab blocks" which are more like rectangular slabs in form. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Wolkenkrabbers, meestal in de vorm van een toren, met appartementen of kantoren die zijn gesitueerd rond een centrale kern. Te gebruiken om ze te onderscheiden van 'slab blocks', die meer rechthoekig zijn. |
German ..... Ein Hochhaus, gewöhnlich in Form eines Turms mit Mietwohnungen oder Büros, die um einen zentralen Erschließungskern gruppiert sind; zu verwenden zur Unterscheidung zum "Plattenbau", der in seiner Form mehr rechteckigen Platten ähnelt. |
Spanish ..... Edificio de gran altura, generalmente en forma de torre, con apartamentos u oficinas agrupadas alrededor de un corazón de circulación central. üsese cuando quiera diferenciarse de "torre de pisos rectangular", que tiene una forma más parecida a planchas rectangulares. |
