Final Report
The following is the table of contents for a thesis report on the Executive Tower located in NW Washington DC. This report is a summary of three studies with common goals of reducing the building lower the 130 foot height in efforts of add a 12th floor to the building plan. The three studies include a mechanical breadth of rerouting and optimizing the duct system, an architectural breadth focusing on the north corner at the entrance to Retail 2, and a depth study convert the flat slab framing system to a fully post tensioned slab.
