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.
The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
Material Supplier refers to organizations which supplied significant systems/materials for a building project (e.g. elevator suppliers, facade suppliers, etc).

Warm Weather Spaces Walking Tours 2015

Brisbane is a fast growing warm climate city with a relatively concentrated central business district surrounded by spacious suburbs. With the city’s vivid light and raffish character, this plush commercial building in Brisbane is exuberant, tactile and colorful. Gold anodizing and the local heritage color palette give the façade a characteristic glow achievable in Brisbane’s intense light, a homage to Australia’s exuberant north. Double glazing on the perimeter is shielded by purposefully perforated shadowing screens on its west and east elevations.
The site has no real street frontage yet enjoys panoramic city and river views. The insertion of a laneway from Turbot to Tank Street unlocks this potential by providing a more fitting ground level address for a large commercial building. The ground level creates a people-friendly setting that signals a less corporate way of developing the city. Bicycle parking, boulder walls for sitting, and dangling lanterns suggest that an alternative gentleness might accompany big buildings rather than the singular splendor of massive glass and gleaming stainlessness.
