Lightweight
As buildings continue to grow to unprecedented heights, weight is an increasingly important factor in the material choice of these gravity-defying buildings.

The ‘less is more’ principle is certainly true - less material means less waste and a design that is often cheaper to produce as well as being better for the environment.
