ABSTRACT:
A parking garage includes a plurality of closely spaced, vertically extending columns arranged in files to form a regular array. The close column spacing largely eliminates the need for beams, spandrels, safety walls, guardrails, or cables previously used to connect adjacent columns. Two of the files form external garage walls whose columns each include portions which are offset with respect to a vertical column centerline. The offset portions alternate vertically and any given offset portion either projects or is recessed with respect to the offset portions immediately above and below it. Each offset portion faces a corresponding offset portion on an adjacent column so that all of the offset portions create a pattern when viewed from a distance. The appearance thus created eliminates the need for curtain walls or any other facade.
