The central of arterial part of a multistory building that integrates functions and service needs for established occupants. Such areas are normally composed of toilet facilities, elevator banks, janitors’ closet, utilities, mechanical facilities, smoke shafts and stair.
Core also known as facade envelope is a spatial element for load-bearing high-rise building system.
Characteristic
Shape of core
Number of cores
Location of cores
Arrangement of cores
Geometry of building as generator of core form
Function
Tying the building together to act as a unit
To maximize flexibility in layout
As shear wall systems to provide the necessary lateral stability for the building
Resist lateral forces from any direction
Carries gravity loads
