Abstract/Summary
The authors of this document are architectural engineering (ARCE) undergraduate students from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly). They joined the 2020 Skyscraper Collaboratory as part of the ARCE course 415: Interdisciplinary Capstone Project. This course emphasizes the analysis and evaluation of interdisciplinary challenges associated with integrating the design and construction processes to deliver a project with respect to the design, quality, and performance expectations for a client or presented criteria. The course was taught in collaboration with industry partners and associates from the global architectural, urban planning, and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Instruction took place over the span of twenty weeks to educate students about high-rise residential building design in an interdisciplinary and integrated design studio.
This report details the students’ design approach for the architectural typology of rotation. The document focuses on architectural design process, structural analysis, and project impacts. More specifically, this report examines the development of building form, inherent torsion due to rotation, and contextual outcomes of tall buildings.
