Toward the end, he suggests water dampers serve a dual purpose to meet fire codes (having a reservoir of water atop your building).
Does this create additional risk when firefighting operations draw it down?
i.e. Do the dampers contribute meaningfully to short term structural integrity of the building (particularly in gusty weather), or are they mainly just for comfort and materials longevity?
Has any building architected its liquid pool damper as a bonafide swimming pool?
