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.

The Collaborative Architect is an additional organization that is brought in, usually at the request of either the client or the main design architect, to collaborate on the design of the building.
Structural Engineer
The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.

Project Manager
The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.

About Deutsche Bank Place
Featuring a distinctive stepped profile in the skyline of Sydney, the form of Deutsche Bank Place was a response to city planning guidelines to minimize shadowing of neighboring public spaces. Natural daylight also illuminates the expansive lobby, courtesy of an offset structural core housing all building services, the first of its kind for an office building in Australia. In addition to allowing for an open-air plaza beneath the office floors, the offset core provides for an atrium running the full height of the building as well as uninterrupted floor plates, which has led to low tenant churn costs and times. Its glass-enclosed elevators celebrate the technology of vertical transportation, while offering visual interest to the façade and great views to passengers as they move through an open steel framework.
The atrium was designed as an integrated part of the building mechanical system, expelling heat exhaust and smoke extraction in case of fire. The building’s façade features flush interior walls in contrast to a highly textured exterior composed into a rectilinear grid patterning which continues beyond the roofline of the staggered upper-level setbacks and into an exoskeletal structure visually terminating with twin spires.
