#7 I know nothing about how to clam dig, but the linked site for clam guns shows products much much smaller in diameter that what's shown in the photo.
#4 is At 432 Park Avenue, New York a clusters of unoccupied sections throughout the tower allow wind to flow through and stabilize the building. That tower's structural engineer, Silvian Marcus, said that without the large, open-air mechanical floors, 432 Park Avenue would noticeably sway and be unacceptable to residents.
#4 im pretty sure its for the wind currents.... (thats why its round in the middle). also it doesnt make sense to build empty floors to make it higher....having an apartments there would be even more profitable.
#4.. Bullsh#t ... These are usually mechanical floors to consolidate and facilitate the electrical, plumbing and HVAC requirements of the building If you are going to do this type of post at least be right about your answers
"In another measure to reduce the potentially uncomfortable effects of swaying due to wind vortex loading on such a flexible tower, 432 Park is divided into seven vertical segments, each with 12 occupied floors. Between each segment is a two-story-tall section without any windows or interior space, allowing wind gusts to pass through rather than around the building. These floors also contain modular mechanical services for the six floors above and below to reduce the number of ducts needed."
Answer: This is just a way to access the crawlspace, there’s usually plumbing, wiring, and potentially ductwork that periodically may need maintenance.
