As the building is a hospital the architects required open space for flexible room design and space distribution. This has been reflected in the structural system and the distribution of the elements of the lateral force system. Therefore, the building is assigned with a torsional irregularity. Explain how this will affect the behaviour of the building, and What are the consequences of this irregularity following ASCE7-16, elaborate?
