a skyscraper that is visibly constructed from prefabricated elements
floors with open windows that allow the wind to blow through the building
a structural system that resembles a bundle of straws
a box or cylinder that is sunk to the bedrock and then filled with concrete
a horizontal slab of concrete reinforced with layers of iron rails
a reinforced tube, which is recognizable by the X-braced exterior
a skyscraper being a collection of individual plates
sickness that is the result of skyscraper sway
a three-dimensional steel grid that carries both the inner structure and the outer walls of a skyscraper
gallerythe upward movement of air inside skyscrapers
a swinging motion that is most strongly felt near the top of a skyscraper
when a new skyscraper has reached its highest structural point
the combination of a core tube containing the elevator and other mechanical services, and an outer tube that doubles as the outer wall of the skyscraper
a weight added to the top of a skyscraper to distort swaying motion
