question for the structure of an zigzag highrise?

I am currently proposing a highrise with zigzag shape and checking its feasibility of the structure system. Since my core is straight, basically I think whatever the perimeter structure is, I would be fine. But I would like to have several structure options. Could anyone share me some information regarding this?

Thank you very much. I will post back all I could find.

I don't know what you mean by zigzag shape. Is it like Koolhaas' 23rd Street building?

I'm no engineer, but I'd suggest having the core support all of the weight of the entire structure. Then I'd suggest having a steel structural system attached to the core that is designed as a vertical truss. The floor plates would then sit within that truss. The truss would allow your floors to cantilever out and keep them rigid. i'd hope you'd design the tower at least in balance.

There should be an area that is common to all floorplates, if you overlay each plan. Within this area you can set up a standard column grid, and then any protrusions of the floorplate beyond the "common area" are cantilevered. (This may not work, depending on HOW much the tower zig-zags)
