Carbon Tower Prototype is a 40-story mixed-use high-rise that incorporates
five innovative systems: pre-compressed double-helix primary structure,
tensile-laminated composite floors, two external filament-bound ramps, breathable
thin-film membrane, and vritual duct displacement ventilation. Studies conducted
by Arup suggest that, if built, the tower would the lightest and strongest
building of its type. |
