BAKU TOWER
Baku, Azerbaijan - 2017)
Baku is one of the toughest places to design a building. First of all, they are famous for their wind, and that's one thing to account for. The second challenging part is their ground, which is very muddy.
During the projects structural design phase, taking ground-building interaction, 40 meter long Bored-Pile System was applied.
Moreover, due to the strong wind action and fragile architecture of the building, outrigger system and a wind damper was used in order to bring comfort to the residents of the building. Both systems were controlled by RWDI.
