ABSTRACT:
A bisectional architectural structure, suitable for residential, commercial or megastructural use, divides interfloor space into separate functional zones, and systematically orients major floor levels according to the axii of two separate structural grid systems which bisect each other in every dimension. As an apartment building or the like, it may comprise a plurality of vertical modules arranged one on top of the other about a common vertical utility core. Each module includes four floors which are accessible from the utility core by a corkscrew-shaped walkway surrounding the utility core. The utility core is provided with at least two elevators, a first of which has a plurality of door openings for servicing each floor. One or more additional elevators in the core have one door per verticle module.
The bisectional architectural structure is supported by a plurality of columns arranged at the intersecting points of a number of square grids in a horizontal plane. These grids define the distances between adjacent columns and establish a spacial framework within which to erect other buildings or structures.
The bisectional architectural structure is articulated at its periphery by a plurality of "triangular cantilevers", each forming a triangularly shaped extension of at least two successive floors. The triangular cantilever may be prefabricated in such a way as to be orginally self-supporting, and then hoisted into place and attached to the building at the construction site.
