ArtistA central tube core anchors each tower that arises 290m above ground level carrying a twisting form. The form is encapsulated by a triangulated exoskeleton articulating a multistory atrium located at the extremities leaving clear floor plates for functional distribution. The triangulated structure geometry with an average base height of 1:4 floors extends across the facade to form the exoskeleton. The rotational and scaling aspects of floor plates around the central cores creates a folding form that grows high to create an amorphous geometry with atriums that spiral along the towers in two different directions as per climatic aspects. The parametric model based on environmental calculation projects the lines of the exoskeleton onto the free-form facade, with which a mesh wireframe is generated. In the free-form areas, the exoskeleton’s tubular structural steel is single-curved and clad with composite aluminum panels, most of which are double curved. A multi-objective optimization is carried out to create a novel form where two dynamic looking towers connect at three distinct levels with structural bridges formed by tubed trusses that stretch out from the exoskeleton.
