		Melbourne is the capital and largest city of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia, with a population of 3,488,750 in the Melbourne metropolitan area (census 2001
		Melbourne has undergone a major urban 'revival', such that it is sometimes classed as being in a second tier of "world cities"; the GaWC study group in the UK ranks Melbourne, on the basis of relative availability of specialised "advanced services" as a "minor world city" comparable to cities such as Vancouver, Osaka, and Prague.
		Melbourne's rock and pop music scene is regarded (particularly by Melburnians) as the liveliest in the country, and has fostered many internationally renowned artists and musicians, with links to AC/DC, Nick Cave, Crowded House, John Farnham, Graeme Bell and Kylie Minogue.

		the tall building is iconic as a landmark
		The obvious quality of the architecture of the building and the kudos associated with the architect appear to be the main justifications for the loss of an important listed building, the protection of which should be primary, and the surrounding historic area.
		If cities are to maintain their distinctiveness, tall buildings which are significantly higher than their immediate context “should be assessed both in terms of their impact on their immediate surroundings, and their impact at the wider city scale.

		The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, an international organisation of architectural, engineering and planning professionals, was established to study and report on all aspects of the planning, design, construction, and operation of tall buildings.

		The building considered is a 76-story 306 m concrete office tower proposed for the city of Melbourne, Australia.
		The building is slender with a height to width ratio of 7.3; hence, it is wind sensitive.
		Wind tunnel tests for such a 76-story building model have been conducted at the University of Sydney and the results of across-wind data are used in the present benchmark problem.

		Today, Melbourne is home to 5 out of the 10 tallest buildings in Australia, and Australia's tallest since 1980 in the Rialto (as well as the title of tallest in the southern hemisphere).
		My personal belief is that no city should demolish a previously tallest building, as they are bound to be a landmark of their era and are more often than not a representation of the finest in architectural and engineering achievements of their time.

	Shaping Tall Buildings to Reduce Aerodynamic Excitation and Response (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Background to the generation of perceptible accelerations in tall buildings is developed to demonstrate that these tend to be dominated by the cross-wind response to wake, vortex, excitation.
		A sensitivity analysis demonstrates the dependence on wind speed, damping, building massiveness and the cross-wind force spectrum.
		The remainder of the paper gives guidelines to the way in which the shape or configuration of a building may be directed to achieve reductions in the cross-wind force spectrum and hence reductions in acceleration response.
