For decades, tall building designers have searched for ways to maximize leasable floor space and provide as much space as possible between walls and columns. One of the most effective ways to achieve this kind of flexibility is the off-set core, which removes the vertical transportation and mechanical equipment to the side of the main floor plate, allowing clear spans and an uncluttered plan. Though the off-set core has been deployed infrequently since the late 1950s, recent developments in workplace culture, performance-based engineering and parametric design have elevated the typology to an art form. Join this session at the Hanking Center Tower, the world’s tallest building with an off-set core, to hear from experts in the art of maximizing the sociability of workplaces through various approaches to the technique.
