my project re-interprates the “communication” of day-light, spaces, and ventilation in high rise towers with an aim of “humanizing” the modern tower.
by situating my proposal in the midst of a global pan-demic that has highly affected our view on wellbeing both physically and mentally, i will reinterpret R. Feister & Partners’ Tower 42 –located in the City of London— to better fit current health standards; through the in-crease of physical communication as well as reincopo-rating natural ventilation and sunlight exposure in high rise tower using passive strategies.
To reconfigure the office building to the new needs that have arose as identified in my research, i have explored the commensalistic relationship between piddock clams and the rocks they bore through and inhabit, and thus physically the system of erosion in a solid, and conceptually the “filtering system”, in order to inform my design.
