The irregular shape of the site on which this multi-storey building is to be located has given rise to an interesting architectural solution which in turn has led to more complex than normal methods of analysis
and detailed design being required. This paper describes the development of the structural solution and the procedures set up to handle the design. Special mention is made of some of the difficulties encountered in following codified analysis methods.
