In this short interval of 4 months, it would be a herculean task todesign all the proposed buildings. So, I would confine myself while
designing the following:

Introduction
r
Askyscraper is a tall, continuously habitabl e building.
• There is no official definition or height above which a building may
clearly be classified as a skyscraper even a building of 80 meters (262
feet) may be considered a skyscraper if it protrudes above its built
environment and changesthe overall skyline.
• The tallest building symbolizes national prestige in the form of
economic status, growth, technological prosperity and modernity.
•The size of skyscrapers allows for high-density work and
hy
W
living spaces, reducing the amount of land given over to
human development
•Masstransit and commercial transport are economically and
Skyscraper
environmentally more efficient whenservinghigh-density
development than suburban or rural development.
•The total energy expended towards waste disposal and

climate control is relatively lower for a given number of
people occupying a skyscraper than that same number of
people occupying modern housing

Design Consideration

The design and construction of skyscrapers involves creating safe, habitable spaces in very tall buildings. The
buildings must support their weight, resist wind and earthquakes, and protect occupants from fire.
They must also be conveniently accessible, even on the upper floors, and provide utilities and a comfortable climate for the
occupants.

•The fresh air is supplied via ventilation units placed in
front of the floor slabs. The air is conditioned separately on

•Stainless steel glass cladding.

•Custom madeshading device is used on facade
reflective glazing, and aluminium and textured stainless steel

Structural consideration for wind r
Critical issues for designof high rise building in aregion prone to significant wind & seismic effect typically
include
• High base overturning and foundation design.(wind, seismic)
• High shear capacity requirement near base.( seismic)
•High gravity stress in vertical element( using high tensile materials) tominimize structuralsize for economic
structural design and to maximize net floor area.
• Development of ductility of elements at the base of structure under high compressive gravity stress. (seismic)
• Controlling lateral acceleration(wind) by shape of building.
• Controlling Storey drift.
• Ensuring ductile energy dissipation mechanism and preventing brittle failure.
• Shape of building tominimize wind load.

• 40 wind tunnel test is conducted to confirm the shape.
