NO GRAVITY BUILDING

About Project

The "No Gravity" building represents an innovation in the world of architecture and construction. While stadiums use a similar cable-supported system, buildings of this type have not existed until now. Calculations have shown that this type of structure is feasible, and testing has been conducted through both scale models and physical prototypes. The building was developed as part of a semester project assignment for the course Structural Systems within the Architecture study program at the State University of Novi Pazar. The project was carried out under the academic mentorship of Assistant Professor Dr. Nikola Velimirović and teaching assistant M.Sc. Civil Engineer Ismail Nurković. The proposed location for the building is Pančevo, Serbia.
The building consists of two underground levels, a ground floor, and 24 above-ground floors. Its structure follows a bridge-type design, with two main load-bearing pylons in the form of reinforced concrete (RC) cores. These cores house the vertical circulation systems and sanitary facilities. The pylons are fixed into the foundation structure, which is constructed as a 150 cm thick reinforced concrete counter. The facade is designed as a glass curtain wall system, with panel divisions in the form of vertical mullions. Triple-glazed glass will be used to ensure adequate thermal efficiency, sound insulation, and sun protection. As an innovative proposal, the installation of transparent solar panels is being considered. In addition to serving as the primary element of the glass façade, these panels would also act as a natural source of electrical energy.
