A brief is a short version of a case study.

Chicago, Illinois, with its grid of broad streets and large skyscrapers, has added a 60-story high rise along the north shore of the Chicago River. Rising 800 feet (244 m), 300 north LaSalle, among the city’s tallest buildings, offers 200 feet (61 m) of frontage along the river, featuring an outdoor plaza with seating and a large waterfront café. The project occupies a 1.2-acre (0.5-ha) site. It includes 1.3 million square feet (120,774 m²) of office space, 15,000 square feet (1,394 m²) of shops and restaurants, three levels of underground parking, and public spaces—including a half-acre (0.2-ha) sunlit waterfront garden with access to the river.
