Jin Mao Tower's structure relies heavily on the number eight, with 88 floors, eight steel columns, etc. The number eight in Chinese numerology is often associated with prosperity. These structural elements are not limited to cultural heritage, however. They also prevent natural disasters. The pagoda structure allows the building to withstand typhoons and earthquakes, similar to other contemporary skyscrapers.]]> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/JinMaoBuilding.jpg]]>
The structures incorporate Islamic motifs, with the bases, two interlocking squares, forming Islamic symbols of unity, harmony, stability, and rationality. Similar design elements are included throughout, with rounded edges and interior motifs. While the building itself is not inherently religious, the surrounding community is--Malaysia having a majority Muslim population. The design is a showcase of a building's ties to the surrounding culture and is constructed with it in mind.]]> Kuala_Lumpur_City_Centre_(from_Lorong_Kuda),_Kuala_Lumpur, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/Kuala_Lumpur_City_Centre_%28from_Lorong_Kuda%29%2C_Kuala_Lumpur.jpg]]> Architect Fariborz Sahba studied various temples while working on the structure. Inspired by the local culture, the building takes the form of a lotus. Sahba was especially interested in depicting the purity within the temple. The pure white exterior from the marbles to the serene interior emphasizes such dedication. While the temple is for the Baha'i Faith, it is open to visitors.]]>
Carnegie Hall’s interior is separated into three music halls and an education wing. The Judith and Burton Resnick Education Wing is the newest addition, constructed in 2011 during the Studio Tower renovation project, though the Rose Museum located within was built twenty years prior. Resnick Education Wing, taking an L-shaped form, is one of the few areas where Carnegie steel is utilized, paying homage to the hall’s builder. The structure serves as a teaching space for artists and is open to the general public, facilitating the development of music within surrounding communities.

The oldest of the structures is the Issac Stern Hall, built by amateur architect William Tuthill. The hall is known for its world-class acoustics. When constructing it, Tuthill chose to make Stern Hall as simple as possible. The heavy curtains, extravagant chandeliers, and detailed frescoes, which are
present in other venues, are not present in Stern Hall. Instead, the curvilinear walls are smooth, the roof is domed, and the stage slightly protrudes out. The elements within Stern Hall are simple but amplify each note played. 

Carnegie Hall as a whole is a gem of the music world, with Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky, George Gershwin, Billie Holiday, etc. taking the stage while also being open for public education. Music travels through the halls because of the intentional simplicity ingrained in the original structure, and the education of said music travels through the wings as an extension of the said structure.]]>
