Maybe the innovative ‘green’ design had something to do with the
rapid spread of the fire and the way fire suppression was engineered:

Further I conjecture that a halon system would not be feasible in such a
structure.

There are plenty of effective options besides environmentally-destructive Halon, dangerous-to-equipment water sprinkler, or dangerous-to-personnel CO2 for fire suppression these days. Some of the most common today are foam systems like FM-200 or 3m's Novec.
