Parametric Vertebrate Tower

The competition for the fashion museum in Tokyo banned from ARQUITECTUM was an opportunity to transfer the morphological research on systems in continual transformation in the design a tower of 100 meters via a system control parameter of the form. Breef in the functional program was not detailed enough and the vertical distribution of the various rooms of the museum more or less fixed. The choice was then to articulate the design in the first two phases, generating a "tower of default" that would satisfy the demands of the general contract as the size of not more than 4000 square meters, the height of 100 meters and the vertical distribution system, once established the "genotype" were tested its possible changes in the specific needs of the functional program and the relationship with the context urban to the definition of an ideal configuration. It is at this stage that triggered the final form of the three peaks containing the three major areas: the beer garden down the main exhibition space at the center and the catwalk for fashion shows at the top.
The main structure is designed as a backbone, extends from the bottom up through the repetition of the same component, depending on the deformation parameters, the varying proportions of each floor and connects to the concrete cores containing elevators, emergency stairs and the vertical distribution of plants. The outer skin follows the deformation of the structure and consists of a mesh of triangular flat plate whose gradient opening varies depending on the needs of natural light indoors.

The deformation parameters are related to the desire to establish an interpolation variable depending on the type of environment and plant size and shape are always different while retaining the same basic morphology at all levels in order to arrange a vertical distribution system efficiently. No surface has been designed independently, the whole geometry of the tower was generated solely from 10 of vertical control curves on which lie the ten points Control of the curve that defines the plant at all levels. By changing the input curves, and changing the parameters that control the interpolation, the shape of the tower can vary until you reach the desired configuration.

San Francisco Cruise Spots

official denial

officially denied having anything to do, as suggested by the first page of Gazzetta dello Sport with the affair Balotelli-Mourinho. To me, they could continue to fight until the end of the season. Indeed, to be honest: I would have been pleased.
