quasiscraper

A quasiscraper is a term used in urban planning and architecture to describe a building that is taller than the surrounding structures but not as tall as a true skyscraper. The term is often used to describe buildings that are between 100 and 200 meters in height, although the exact definition can vary depending on the context. Quasiscrapers are typically found in cities with a mix of older and newer buildings, where the height of a building is limited by factors such as zoning laws, historical preservation, or the need to maintain a certain aesthetic.

Quasiscrapers are often used for commercial or residential purposes, and they can be found in a variety of architectural styles. They are typically characterized by their height, which allows them to offer panoramic views of the city, and their use of modern materials and technologies. However, they may also incorporate elements of older architectural styles, reflecting the city's history and character.

The term quasiscraper is not universally accepted, and some urban planners and architects prefer to use more specific terms to describe buildings of a particular height. However, it is a useful term for describing a type of building that is taller than most but not as tall as a true skyscraper. It is also a useful term for discussing the challenges and opportunities presented by buildings of this height in urban environments.
