description of the 40-storey building structure concept. |

“The
initial structural design comprised a conventional in-situ core
constructed at site, (using a hydraulic climbform or similar forming
system), with the residential units being designed as a series of
modules tied back to the core, using welded and shear stud
connections. The modules themselves were designed as concrete boxes,
comprising between three and five modules to form one residential unit
of between 400-700 sq ft, these being factory produced.
