Design Development

Further Development

Twisted Tower Variations

Some experiementation with forms that can be created on the facade through the rotation of the floor plates.

Iris Structure

This structure is what I call the 'Iris'. A concept I've previously explored, this was an adaptive design which could react to its environment.

Scatter - 3ds Max

Experimentation using the 'Scatter' command in 3ds Max further to the previous scattered floor plate sketchup model.

Initial Skyscraper

The function of my skyscraper is a vertical farm. Providing fresh fruit and vegetables for the Fortitude Valley community, this development will compliment the currently proposed markets at the RNA showgrounds.

The form has been generated around natural sun light. By creating a permeable floor plate, crops are able to be grown over the whole depth of the floor plate rather than just around the edges where the suns rays will penetrate.
