The Artise utilized a one-of-a-kind structural system aimed to solve several design challenges at once and, consequently, resulted in at least 25% material savings compared to what’s traditionally required for an office building of comparable size and materials. By using buckling restrained braces and fluid viscous dampers that skip floors, and a moment frame sub system in between brace points, the lateral resisting footprint was spread out and the pieces minimized. This reduced demands on the superstructure and the foundations. Further, by eliminating all lateral framing below grade, the design saved even more on cost.
