An aerial precedent for high-rise massing that uses a carved pixelated spiral to dissolve a conventional glass box into a dynamic urban landmark.
- What we like about this project
- The pixelation cuts deep into the tower's mass at multiple corners rather than just a single surface.
Materials
- glass
- aluminum
- steel
- concrete
Visual identifiers
- pixelated-facade
- spiral-carving
- glass-curtain-wall
- super-tall-tower
Style tags
- contemporary
- parametric
- deconstructivist
Visual tags
- skyscraper
- pixelated
- deconstructivist
- high-rise
- urban-landmark
- Geometry
- Slender tower volume carved by a continuous three-dimensional spiral band of pixelated terraces and volumetric recesses.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with recessed balcony boxes forming pixelated volumetric shifts.
- Structural guess
- Composite steel and concrete core with outrigger bracing system.
- Spatial scale
- Super-tall skyscraper towering over surrounding high-rises, visible across the entire metropolitan landscape.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight creating soft reflections across the curtain wall and shadowy depth in the carved recesses.
- Atmosphere
- Striking and disruptive against a hazy urban sky, blending digital geometry with massive vertical scale.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban cityscape with surrounding high-rise towers and low-to-mid-rise urban fabric in a tropical metropolis.
- Spatial experience
- From the air the skyscraper appears as a dissolving monolith, breaking its glass enclosure into inhabited volumetric pixels.
- Composition rhythm
- Irregular modular steps winding diagonally up the vertical facade like a carved ribbon.
