Very informative article; one minor point of usage re term 'pillar' in 3rd paragraph: 'column' is the better choice for the interior vertical structure of a concrete, multi-story building. Also in the third paragraph: in the U.S., the term 'egg crate', when used in reference to concrete construction, has come to be associated with a particular kind of formwork for horizontal slabs, as opposed to a generic term for the concrete structure of a whole edifice. This may reflect a difference in usage between countries or the current usage of egg crate may be a later coinage than the use made by the source referred to in the article. Perhaps some slight modification of the sentence, suggesting the source for the use of the term 'egg crate' in connection to the project would help avoid confusion, e.g.: "... concrete frame or 'egg crate' as it was called in a contemporary professional review".
