The changes or evolution of the master plan and of specific buildings is driven by either specific governmental regulations and/or by specific requirements of users. For example, certain users desire a specific floor plate size and/or may require a building to meet certain budget parameters. Design at this commercial scale is rarely if ever, perhaps never, an arbitrary thing driven by purely aesthetic aspirations. It is the integration of program, budget and the specific regulatory environment within which the building or development is being constructed. The Camden Waterfront under the jurisdiction of NJ DEP as well as other state agencies, as well as the Army Corps of Engineers, is one of the most heavily regulated geographies in the Philadelphia region, for example. The architect of the northern most tower shown in the master plan is Foster+Partners, if realized in it's current form, it would be one the most, if not the most advanced commercial office buildings in the country in terms of it's environmental design. That said, it will probably continue to evolve over the coming year. The other buildings by Robert A. M. Stern are more fixed in terms of their design.
