Abstract/Summary
This set of images and studies proves to show that architects and engineers can indeed work closely to produce amazing and beautiful results. This result came in the form of a project proposal for a high – rise residential tower located in the heart of San Francisco. The team elected to utilize a highly efficient system of cables in order to cantilever over the edges of the site and optimize the air space, make powerful vistas to increase residential value, and to form an elegant structural system holding everything together. In this paper, the design process is explained into engineering, architecture and then how the two have come together to make a compelling project.
