What a great building, WI.  As much as I'm against 'regulation' beyond safety codes, you should not be able to put up a building with more than one story, (including homes) that doesn't have a beam. They could be esthetically acceptable even if made retractable to do so and the beating that would be saved to the building over it's life, (not to mention the work) would be great. 
And since we're here
.. 
A flat roof by any architect should be 100% guaranteed, by them AND their descendants, for the life of the building, if it is above 35Ί N latitude!
.. And you can NOT have a basement for ANY building without a minimum of a 48" exterior stairwell!
*weeee*
Resume construction
