When seen from above, that is.

Yes, but that shape is often masked by many external elements.

I was thinking about cross-shaped sky-scrapers like in Mike's picture. Those are prety
uncommon.

These buildings are typical of some residential buildings in Hong Kong.
A tidbit about these towers: I took this photo when I was visiting HK.
They're in a somewhat remote part of town. I think people care more about
window space in a residential building than in an office, thus the shape.
The towers have about 8 flats per floor, about 33 stories, and have a
block of about several (7?) towers in a row that are attatched on the
ground floor. There are also multiple blocks of the same kind of tower.
They aren't quite a + shape but there's a lot of them :)

Ah, I see. :-)
I remember seeing some that were shaped like that in Barcelona. One of
them is next door to the AC Hotel in Barcelona, not sure what it was, but
I wondered about the construction with the open space under some of the
rooms about 15 stories up.

Oh, I thought I saw, but I didn't - the design I was thinking of is also
different (like a cross standing up).

There's not much of the original macro left by now, and I'm still
tweaking. I eventually hope to produce a fly through animation.

I've put a copy on povray.binaries.scene-files
I've been working with png files for the tiles, but they would have made
the whole thing too large to post, so this copy contains jpgs.
