IAC building, lobby

technical details: glass• Of 1,450 curtain wall units, 1,150 are unique. Units measure

35ft by 22ft. In some corners of the building, the glass twists 150 degrees from ground to roof.

• First glass curtain wall to be cold-warped (bent into shape on site).

• Glass is coated with ceramic particles to increase energy efficiency.

• Every unit contains three sheets of glass, two laminated and the third one, tempered, separated by an insulated air space.

technical details: concrete I• Concrete frame has a typical 12 inch

floor with spans up to 35 feet. • 5,000 psi concrete used throughout

the structure. • Cast in place concrete results in

outstanding acoustic properties and fireproofing.

technical details: concrete II• Only two columns of the frame are

vertical. Some are angled as 25 degrees from vertical.

• The 12 inch thick shear wall in the building's core, serves as a weight to counteract the twisting effect of the columns. This wall also encases the fire stairs in the building.

technical details: concrete III• A two-day cycle allows for a new

floor of concrete to be poured every other day, using additives for faster setting.

• Reduces floor slab completion time by 50%, if compared to traditional structural steel floor system.
