This is a structural study only for the envelope of the building done in SAP10, it's possible to see which parts of the building is weak weighting the Dead Load on this animation.
Unfolded facade is a useful template to show the weak points of the geometry - as an object. The real structure of the building will not be depending on a structural facade since the building is not that large.
The famous right angled 3x4x5 triangle was formed by chance when I was looking for three continous vertical spaces which can accomodate the cores of the building. The center of gravity would not be in the middle of the building if all of the cores were same sized so I increased the size of the southern core (x) and gradually decreased the dimensions towards north (y and z) which moved the center of gravity for this triangle towards the center of the building.
From this drawing, you can see how these three cores are cutting through the building at different levels.

Hi Aras- please can you send me your A4 outline and TS summary- if you are already this far advanced with the TS it would be good to know how the study has been structured and your ambitions towards concluding it- thanks
