Without lifts high-rise buildings would not be feasible. However, as building heights increase lifts occupy an ever increasing percentage of the building core. At some point lifts occupy so much of the core space that the economic viability of a building is jeopardized. TWIN is a lift system that permits two lifts to occupy the same shaft. This greatly reduces the amount of core space that the lifts occupy and makes taller buildings economically viable. The TWIN concept and various TWIN application schemes are explained. (14 pages)
