Function
A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (or uses), where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Functions are denoted on CTBUH "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.

Structural Material
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from steel. Note that a building of steel construction with a floor system of concrete planks or concrete slab on top of steel beams is still considered a “steel” structure as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.
Reinforced Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete which has been cast in place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars.
Precast Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system are constructed from steel reinforced concrete which has been precast as individual components and assembled together on-site.
Mixed-Structure
Utilizes distinct systems (e.g. steel, concrete, timber), one on top of the other. For example, a steel/concrete indicates a steel structural system located on top of a concrete structural system, with the opposite true of concrete/steel.
Composite
A combination of materials (e.g. steel, concrete, timber) are used together in the main structural elements. Examples include buildings which utilize: steel columns with a floor system of reinforced concrete beams; a steel frame system with a concrete core; concrete-encased steel columns; concrete-filled steel tubes; etc. Where known, the CTBUH database breaks out the materials used in a composite building’s core, columns, and floor spanning separately.

About 1450 BRICKELL
Employing a very three dimensional, sculptural solution to its shape, the building’s southern and eastern faces meet at a 75 degree angle; these two faces also inflect inward as they rise at approximately a two degree angle. In addition, irregular shapes which add to the building’s thrust towards the corner project out 1m (3ft). The overall effect is that of a prism, where the glass takes on characteristics of a solid element. This continues up the building, which reaches a pinnacle at the south east corner.
Constructed in an active hurricane region, the all-glass façade is capable of withstanding 67+mps (150+mph) winds. As such, it offers the best protection against hurricanes of any building in Miami. Achieving this required thicker glass (which was already laminated to begin with), stronger connections and extrusions, and more steel in the wind pressure “hot spots.” The glazing was tested repeatedly with a three-story mockup of the curtain wall. With the emergency generator backup system, the building has been designed to come through all but the very strongest storm undamaged, and being able to remain open for business immediately thereafter.
