Typical Uses of the Diagrid

the variety of open floor plans
with a Diagrid the exterior of the floor plates are
relatively static
besides the service core, the floor plan is free of
columns and other structural elements
the service core only carries a vertical gravity load
very aesthetically pleasing for skyscaper design
free of exterior columns
access to generous amounts of natural sunlight
reduces the amount of steel normal used by about 20%
the construction techniques are rather simple
the redundancy of the diagrid transfers loads from failing
portions of the building to other parts of the building,
which prevents a total failure of a building
