¡¡¡¡Passage 4ª¤

¡¡¡¡Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:ª¥

¡¡¡¡Unlike any earlier building complex anywhere in the world, Rockefeller in New¡¡York City was built, not as a place where people could live, but as a city in which they could work. It was the biggest building project of its kind, a city within a city, and of the forerunner of projects that have sprung up all over the¡¡world. 30 architects, 120 draftsmen, and hundreds of other artists and technicians were employed just to draft the plans. Before the buildings could be erected,229 old buildings had to be emptied of 4,000 tenants and razed. Just to buy up¡¡the leases took over two years and cost over $6,000,000. The unusual shape and setbacks of the 70-story RCA building resulted primarily from practical considerations such as lighting, the movement of people and the building¡¯s services. The¡¡lower concourse and basement level were set aside for shops. A sunken plaza, complete with gardens and fountains, was designed to provide access to these shops. Today the plaza, which is used for ice-skating in winter and dining and dancing in summer , is one of the centre¡¯s most popular attractions.ª¤
