Abstract:
The FORTH Atlanta social club and hotel was designed with a concrete structural diagrid on the outside of the building. The columns were to be placed outboard of the slab edge, the corners at the top and bottom needed to “fold” inward to emphasize the three-dimensional form of the structure, and the flying beam at the roof perimeter was designed to cap off the diagrid.
