Palaces For The People: interior structure
I assume, there should be two general types of the pyramid, regarding the
interior structure:
Type A: the multi-level
Type B: the shell
The outer shape is the same, according to the pyramid basis shape, as well as
the technical equipment and the resistanceness against earthquakes, fire,
flooding...
Type A:
The interior space filled with rows of construction poles and levels.
This type provides interior space for functions which rnot more than - I say -
7m distance between two poles. The level-height would be about 2.8 meter -
respectly 5.8 or 8.8m, if two or three levels are combined
Type A could be the standard type, which makes 70-80% of all palaces of a
village, town or city.
Type B:
The interior is constructed like a big hall, with no poles anywhere. Users and
architects are nearly totally free to use and design the interion space of this
type of palace.
Construction is little different from type A. Type B depends on a large-shape
triangular construction, even very robust. The appartments forming the outer
shell serve a lot of functions at one time:
- residential living space
- holder for solar panels
- roof and shelter for interior
Interior users pay for this service and agrre to do nothing which could harm
the residential shell.
Exterior shell ramains for 100 years and more, like a turtle's shell, while the
"soft" interior can chance every few years, like many American-style buildings
and urban functions: yesterday a storage room and workshop for building the
neighbored pyramids, today a recreation center, tomorrow an assembly-hall for
eco-carts and other devices, which are locally modified according to users
needs.
Several elements may hang down from the exterior shell, up to a maximum weight
of xx tons.
Palaces located in areas with frequent case of flooding, like coastal regions
and densily populated plains and river-valleys in Asia:
While in type A the lower levels will be evacuated in case of flooding, Type B
might have a floating groundfloor, which lifts up, bearing all equipment on it,
like exhibition, chairs, etc.
(just an idea)
Type B would make 20% to 30% of total number of pyramids
QUESTIONS:
1) are the obstacles to have these general two types?
2) what would be the difference of costs between type A and Type B?
