Integration of Tall Building Systems
The focus of this paper is to look at the process of integration of tall building systems and how these buildings interact with the city. The design of tall buildings poses a number of challenges for the architect and the engineer. Such design warrants a multidisciplinary approach and integration of architectural function, structural system, vertical transportation, fire safety, energy conservation, and communication systems. It also demands consideration of environmental effects, constructability, and conformity with the urban setting and civic infrastructure. Effective collaboration and a symbiosis of ideas are needed among professionals throughout a tall building project. This is more so for tall buildings because of their enormous scale. It is concluded that integration not only makes the building more reliable and efficient, it is in fact cost-effective to entwine the various systems together. Illustrative examples are included to shed light on well-integrated tall buildings and their impact on communities.
