Megaform As Urban Landscape
When reading about Megaform there seems like a lot different and planned than most other building that are presented in the world. The reason why the whole thing seems to be planned out. Most of the Megaform that are created are designed in a location. They have to build in that amount and cant change the form unlike all the other buildings. The only part that they can really change is the vertical part of the building. However Frampton also argues for a connection between the two terms in that a megaform may include a megastructure but a megastructure may not necessarily be a megaform. This reminds me of how all scotches are whiskeys but not all whiskeys are scotches. A contextual and elegant urban response such as a megaform may include a megastructure, but a megastructure on its own does not have the same contextual awareness of a megaform. When it comes to the vertical aspect of the building it is able to make anything that the architect would like. It is basically a blank canvas that is going to be seen from far away in horizon.
