Hello, so I'm designing a high rise residential tower as a part of my school studies. It has a s-curve shape, which means that if I put columns on the perimeter of the tower, then they would end up in different spots on every floor which would most likely block the view and be in the way on some floors. The best case scenario would be to put the columns where the interior partition walls are, which means the columns would have to be shifted on each floor. Is that possible, or can you suggestion me a better option?
Here is a section of the tower:
Thank you!

Plenty of real (eg. Built) examples to draw precedents from.
Have you considered consulting a library and architectural periodicals? A library is a large building, likely on your school's campus with stacks of bound pages. Some of them have words and pictures.
Another point to consider is: This design is pretty generic and bland. It would be a shame to water it down some more with a simplistic structural grid simply because you can't figure out something better. I'd recommend reconsidering your design approach so as not to be handcuffed by the form.
