What can you say about the shear wall layout below in terms of structural point of view?

Shearwall Plan Shearwall Plan

Figure 1 Figure 2

Figure 1: wall arrangement confines the intersection
of the horizontal and vertical shear walls wherein the
shear forces from opposite direction will have a
twisting effect on this portion, therefore torsional
effect may need to be considered in this area. If it
can be avoided remove the intersection of the walls,
otherwise we can arrange the bars in such a way
that it will act as a column that can withstand shear
from opposite direction and bi-axial loads.
Figure 2: wall arrangement highlights the
individual contribution of the shear wall on each
corner since they have no interaction. No shear
force will be directly transferred from one wall to
the other due to openings on edges. Verify weak
story or any irregularities when needed.
