Description

My proposed design is a 6 level office building featuring an exciting star shape. It has sharp angles making up its 5 wings. These wings are terraced so the overall floor area decreases as the building gets higher. The central portions of the building utilize sheer walls , while the ends of the wings are wrapped in curtain walls. There is an asymmetric structural grid throughout the entire building reacting to the asymmetric nature of the building.

Using ACC Model Coordination

  1. Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on ACC Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.
