How a building meets the sky is not often talked about
because the sky is usually viewed as an infinite vertical space. There is no
physical connection to the sky. The sky is just a space that houses the building
and provides a background.
However,
when one thinks about it, they can realize that there is an important
relationship between them. A building can connect to the sky in many ways. A
building can seemingly have no defining edges, which gives the impression that
the building in continuing to grow taller and taller. Others have more defined
edges. Some of those edges can define a building’s height and make it seem as
though a building is pushing itself against the sky. Other buildings give the
impression that they are reaching for the sky. The height is defined, but there
is a directional quality to the building that is achieved.
