| Technical Details: |
This building has exposed bracing on the exterior of
the building. The exposed bracing serves as part of its skeleton to
support itself. The bracing is used to resist the lateral wind loads.
The external bracing gives a glimpse of the typical interior structure
of a building rather than have stay hidden behind the walls. |
