Autonomy Tower
2017
Studio Project, Soochow University
Type: Tower Conceptual Design
Independent Work
This project explores the structural system of a skyscraper. In tradition, a tall building is framed by the vertical concrete core and the curtain wall system, which leads to homogeneous layered floors. In this project, I try to develop a structural system that is non-linear and can grow upwards in an autonomous way. Starting from a plane centrosymmetric geometry, the structure rotates, folds, and grows itself, generating various space for new possibilities.
