that system would have special ductwork for various zones that would run from centralized mechanical rooms to the galleries. Like the structural system, the ductwork could not follow typical vertical and horizontal paths. All lateral loads are resisted by latticelike steel bracing on the exterior walls; some additional bracing runs through the interior. To avoid the angled walls from deflecting during the construction they had to be shored. The challenge was to determine which geometry to use so that when the gravity loads were imposed on the structure it would deflect to the desired architectural geometry (CE 06, Dec). Due to the severely inclined walls and large cantilevers, it was decided early on that the dead weight of the building would need to be minimized, thus making structural steel the material of choice. The walls of the building generally lean outwards, so to some extent, the lateral loads balance each other
my business than absolutely required. There was no one else in the room besides the attendant, so there was no one to rush me. I was so hurt by Gideon it was hard to breathe and I was so confused by his mood swings. Why had he touched my face like that? Why had he gotten mad when I didn't stay by his side? And why the hell had he threatened Cary? Gideon gave new meaning to the old adage about "running hot and cold." Closing my eyes, I shored up my composure. Jesus. I didn't need this. I'd bared my emotions in the limo and I still felt horribly vulnerable-a state I'd spent countless therapy hours learning to avoid. I wanted nothing more than to be home and hidden, freed from the pressure of acting like I was completely pulled together when I was anything but. You set yourself up for this, I reminded myself. Suck it up. Taking a deep breath, I stepped out and was resigned to finding Magdalene leaning against the
