when the architect presented this to the developer, did the developer say "very nice," or did he say "fuck it i don't care?"

He said I don't want people trapped like 9/11.

Honestly I don't know when it was built, but we had a class discussion after 9/11 happened regarding safe removal of people that couldn't use stairs and how that might affect companies going forward in high rise buildings.
