As urban centers grow vertically, structural innovation is critical to the design and functionality of tall buildings. This course explores advanced structural systems, including tubular structures, core outriggers, and diagrids, that enable supertall and megatall skyscrapers to defy gravity while withstanding environmental forces. Participants will learn how emerging structural trends optimize material use, enhance stability, and align with aesthetic and sustainability goals.

With case studies and practical insights, this course provides an in-depth look at how architects and engineers collaborate to design the world’s tallest buildings.

Key topics include:

• The evolution of tubular, diagrid, and superframe systems.
• Addressing wind and seismic forces in tall building designs.
• Strategies for integrating aesthetics with structural efficiency.
