but basically... this is where i work. my unique office. column free due to the twisted fins. those fins are purely structural which are 4 times stronger than an untwisted fin. amazing.
the slabs are post tension... therefore the slabs are able to be about 220mm thick.
its the first building in Singapore design with 2 levels of basement on clay soil. Built in the 1970s by KTP consultants.
The engineers must be enthralled by the images. a unique aesthetic created through structural rationalization. Why... is another question to be answered at another day.
