Here are some examples of facades with wind-resistant designs:
1. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai has a unique aerodynamic design that reduces the impact of wind on the building. The curved shape of the tower helps to reduce wind resistance.
2. The Shanghai Tower in China has a spiral design that helps to reduce wind pressure. The building also has a reinforced concrete core and a 120-degree twisted form, which helps to minimize wind loads on the tower.
3. The Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia has a tapering design that helps to reduce wind resistance. The building also has a sloping façade, which helps to deflect wind away from the building.
4. The Taipei 101 in Taiwan has a tuned mass damper system, which helps to reduce the sway caused by wind. The building also has a sloping roofline and a giant tuned mass damper sphere that can move up to five feet in any direction.
5. The Federation Tower in Russia has a triangular shape that helps to reduce wind resistance. The building also has a flexible frame and a tuned mass damper system, which helps to reduce the sway caused by wind.
