Part 3/8:
The Tallwood project embodies the concept of designing a building capable of withstanding seismic forces without incurring damage. A critical aspect of this design process was the development of innovative lateral and gravity systems. It is essential that these systems work hand-in-hand; a resilient lateral system cannot prevent devastation if the gravity system fails. The connection points between various structural components, particularly those linking beams and columns, are crucial for overall stability.
