RE: structure

hey, just to clarify...
(i think...?) we can have:
  1. tubes filled with concrete or steel (structural) and waterproofed.... (or something similar)
  2. tubes that are non structural with an outer structural skin
  3. upper floor supported by tubes filled with concrete or steel (structural) and an additional skin to support the roof...steel etc. (which is connected to the inner skin)
  4. tubes as above (structural) with an outer non structural skin (waterproof layer) which is connected to inner skin
  5. (maybe some other combination???)

i like the idea of two skins with only one being structural (option 4)

just my thoughts, i am happy either way
