12. Structural Overview
• Y-shaped floor plan is ideal for residential program
– Maximizes window perimeter to floor plate area
– Is inherently stable
• Buttressed core
– Three wings arranged around central core
– Each wing supports other two
• Setbacks occur at each wing in a spiraling pattern
THE BURJ TOWER
R
– Reduces vortex shedding by changing building shape 2
