Binyan mirkami is the district's stepped-skyline rule: fabric buildings of seven to nine stories line the streets, with towers of 20-45 stories set back behind them. The street stays human-scale; the skyline rises as you walk inland. When a project lists "two 7-8-story buildings" beside a 34-story tower, those low blocks are the fabric.
