Cor[r]elation CarPark Tower
Inspired by the Chinese lantern plant, the Core[re]lation
Park Tower seeks to redefine the way parking structures are design by creating
a harmonious relation between its core and merging volumes which are
articulated according to different functions such as parking, public spaces,
cultural and entertainment areas; allowing multiple events to occur
simultaneously. The volumes morph according to its program and relationship to
the existing context. With the thought of creating a parking structure with a
straightforward circulation system, the core of the tower acts as the reference
point for the structures main circulation. Every aspect of the design such as
vehicular circulation, fire staircase and elevators evolve from the core.
In addition, behind the cores concept lies the idea of
creating a highly active open plaza. By making this design approach, the
parking tower distances itself from urban morphology, lot line development, and
the conventional economics of garage parking construction. The plaza creates a
procession to the entry of the building, providing a threshold that links the
city with the structure.
Materials:
One of the proposed materials for the parking tower is
Ductal concrete. Given its extremely high mechanical performance such as
resistance to compression and flexure which allows designers to increase span,
reduce the number of sections and allow the design of cantilever structures
that are not possible with conventional concrete.Acting as an external skin,
perforated steel panels are not only used to provide aesthetics, but also to
provide sunscreen qualities allowing light to enter the building and providing
natural ventilation while limiting the ingress of rain and gusting winds as it
acts as a highly effective baffle, which reduces wind speeds and turbulence.
Sustainable Concepts:
The cores pierced concrete structure allows for structural
support, maximum light exposure during daytime and it also allows for passive
cooling, gas emission control and visibility. The park tower has elaborate
sustainable elements and systems, such as an intelligent perforated metal skin
integrated along with glass photovoltaic panels allowing the structure to
generate its own energy. Electro-kinetic ramps are incorporated in the park
tower performing as a method of generating electricity by harnessing the
kinetic energy of automobiles driving over the ramps. A water scupper is
located in the middle of the core for rain collection.
