About the project
Developed during university, this project explores how a tall building can acquire an identity through geometry and structural expression. The tower’s changing outline and external diagonals contrast with the regular rhythm of its glazed facade.
At ground level, a transparent horizontal volume mediates between the tower and a pedestrian square. Planted areas, openings and routes around the base seek to connect the vertical object with the human scale of public space.
The site view and perspectives presented here document the formal and urban exploration of the academic project.
