Here's an example of a the tensile tube structure we intend to use throughout our building to hold the weight of the skin (to some extent) and floor plates (for the most part). The tube will continue upwards and outward at the top becoming the grid shell, terminating into the ground (in some parts). Jessica was nice enough to model this in 3-D AutoCAD, thanks! Within these tubes the core of the building will be located: mechanical, electrical, elevators, stairs, bathrooms, etc. They won't always be designed with that stuff in mind so wait to see what we come up with next...
