Summary:

The strength and spatial potential of the hexagonal form has until now been occasionally explored by architects and designers for smaller scale projects. Here a detailed documentation of a new structural system for high-rise architecture is presented, accompanied by historical background information, models, diagrams, plans, essays and technical notes.
