Bank of China Tower
Structural Demonstration Model
Color coded demonstrator of the major structural systems used inside the model.
White - major exterior columns. However all the cross bracing is cosmetic and non-structural.
Grey - 3x3 technic central core. The core supports the 1x1 brick built central column. The technic axle corners of the core terminate at different levels depending on the module and connect to the yellow outriggers. Only the brick core rises the entire height of the tower.
Red- Shear walls connecting the four external columns to the central core column. As they carry up through the building they become trans-blue exterior walls.
Yellow - Outrigger facade supports. They provide attachment and support the trans blue facade behind each of the X's and help tie the shear walls together at select points.
