Modular multi-storage building

In a building, a plurality of building cells in honeycomb juxtaposition;

• each said cell involving a cell construction, comprising:
• wall means comprising a pair of spaced apart vertical sidewalls which converge together from the first to the second end of the cell,
• said wall means further including a pair of top sections which slope upwardly and inwardly from the sidewalls to an apex whereat they are connected together,
• a pair of bottom sections which slope downwardly and inwardly from the vertical sidewalls to a valley whereat they are connected together,
• each said vertical sidewall including an inboard end located between the first and second ends of the cell, and
• said wall means defining an upper and a lower cantilever beam on each side of the cell, each projecting from the inboard end boundary of a vertical sidewall towards the second end of the cell,
• with the regions located vertically between the upper and lower cantilever beams and horizontally between the inboard ends of the vertical sidewalls and the second end of the cell being open regions in the vertical sidewalls.

An annular building having a central opening and a plurality of tiers of hexahedral building cells in honeycomb juxtaposition surrounding said central opening, and a cell construction comprising:

• wall means defining the building cells, each said building cell narrowing in width from a first outer end to a second inner end,
• said wall means comprising a pair of spaced apart vertical sidewalls for each cell which converge together from the first to the second end of the cell,
• said wall means further including a pair of top sections for each cell which slope upwardly and inwardly from the sidewalls of the cells to an apex whereat they are connected together,
• a pair of bottom sections for each cell which slope downwardly and inwardly from the sidewalls of the cell to a valley whereat they are connected together,
• each said vertical sidewall including an inboard end located between the first and second ends of the cell, and
• said wall means defining an upper and a lower cantilever beam on each side of each cell, each projecting from the inboard end boundary of a vertical sidewall towards the second end of the cell,
• with the regions located vertically between the upper and lower cantilever beams and horizontally between the inboard ends of the vertical sidewalls and the second end of the cell being open regions in the vertical sidewalls.

A building structure comprising wall means defining an annulus of inwardly tapering hexahedral building cells joined together vertically and horizontally in honeycomb juxtaposition, with the inner end boundaries of the cells defining a vertical generally central opening in the building structure,

• each said cell including a pair of spaced apart vertical sidewalls, with the inner portions of the sidewalls being open and the openings being defined top and bottom by horizontally extending cantilever beams,
• said sidewall openings and said cantilever beams defining a generally annular space at the inner ends of the cells surrounding the generally central opening in the building structure;
• and
• elevator means within said central opening.
