Abstrait: This paper analyses the design and construction of high-rise buildings, assessing the implications of this ‘new' building type on design processes, either from an architectural point of view, as new organisational requirements were needed and new regulations had to be applied, or from an engineering point of view, as the increased height and their concentrated load required new structural approaches and calculation methods. The central analysis focuses on four early projects by four different architects and four engineering teams: the 14-storey Miradouro Building of Cooperativa dos Pedreiros, built in the eastern part of Porto; the 18-storey Hotel D. Henrique, in the city centre, just a few hundred meters from the City Hall; the 12-storey Montepio Geral Building and the 13-storey Social Security Building, both located near the Boavista Axis, in the western part of the city.
