Description

Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) describing the features of your proposed design that you'd like to highlight here...

Since my building is circular, placing columns and beams in a pattern that radiates outward from the center made the most sense. From the center of the circle, there are columns placed every 22.5 degrees making for roughly 30 columns along the perimeter of the base (widest part of the building). There are structural walls around the stairs/elevator shafts in the center of the building as well as along the second set of stairs that snakes along the northern wing of the building.
