reflecting the diamonds geometry of faceted triangulation.

In kohinoor square the method of core tude construction is use.The tube system
concept is based on the idea that a building can be designed to resist lateral loads by
designing it as a hollow cantilever perpendicular to the ground. In the simplest
incarnation of the tube, the perimeter of the exterior consists of closely spaced
columns that are tied together with deep spandrel beams through moment
connections. This assembly of columns and beams forms a rigid frame that amounts
to a dense and strong structural wall along the exterior of the building.[3]
This exterior framing is designed sufficiently strong to resist all lateral loads on the
building, thereby allowing the interior of the building to be simply framed for gravity
loads. Interior columns are comparatively few and located at the core. The distance
between the exterior and the core frames is spanned with beams or trusses and
intentionally left column-free. This maximizes the effectiveness of the perimeter tube
by transferring some of the gravity loads within the structure to it and increases its
ability to resist overturning due to lateral loads.
In the construction of Kohinoor Squares core wall self climbing jump form work is
usedjump form systems comprise the formwork and working platforms for
cleaning/fixing of the formwork, steel fixing and concreting. The formwork supports
itself on the
concrete cast earlier so does not rely on support or access from other parts of the
building or permanent works. Jump form, here taken to include systems often
described as climbing form, is suitable for construction of multi-storey vertical
concrete elements in high-rise structures, such as shear walls, core walls, lift shafts,
stair shafts and bridge pylons. These are constructed in a staged process. It is a highly
productive system designed to increase speed and efficiency while minimising labour
and crane time.
Systems are normally modular and can be joined to form long lengths to suit varying
construction geometries.
Self-climbing jump form does not require a crane as it climbs on rails up the
building by means of hydraulic jacks, or by jacking the platforms off internal recesses
in the structure. It is possible to link the hydraulic jacks and lift multiple units in a
single operation.
