The central core houses staircases, lifts, and other services also provides the main structural element for resisting lateral loads
Exoskeleton is made of two legs on each side of the structure These Legs are built up H Sections connected by lattice braced members

• Secondly, the vertical loads transfer through the curved edge
• The steel trusses running alongside the structure also helps in deflecting the horizontal loads
