Why did i choose this building and what are its
advantages?

1- This twisting, contorted

structural skeleton, which
weaves together two separate
sections of the tower and
visually fuses them, will house
the world's tallest atrium,
rising the full height of the
building.

3-The building not only stands out for

the spectacular nature of its design,
but also bets on sustainability, and is
expected to be awarded the LEED
Gold certification.

 The structural system
1- The structural system of Leeza Soho is a combination of
concrete and steel.

2- On the other hand, wide-flange steel

had long-spanning qualities; it was
therefore selected to realise the inter-
connecting bridge. This combination
enabled Leeza Soho to realize the fluid,
dynamic forms, while maintaining
construction and economic feasibilities
The structural system
Each of the two halves of Leeza Soho have their own
structural core and perimeter columns that follow the
curvilinear exterior form of the tower, with steel
tension rings surrounding each floor plate. The four
aerial bridges that connect the towers are made of
wide-flange steel beams and columns, which provide
the right strength to resist bending stress and enabled
the bridges to span extended distances.

The concept of atrium

A central atrium, the world’s tallest, bridges the two

halves, soaring up to 190 metres through the full height
of the building. It connects to the interchange station
below, serving as a public space alongside an outdoor
public plaza that mimics the building’s circular form,
welcoming visitors from the centre of the district.
The concept of atrium

The twsit’ of the atrium allows for plenty of

natural light to enter the building and well
as providing views of the city from the
centre of all floors.
