Emergent Tubes is a project intended to focus on the near-future dense urban condition. The mixed-use building is located in an industrialized zone in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The design is purposefully abstract; the complexity intended to radically react to the physical and cultural environment present in the neighborhood. Concurrent methodologies that were implemented initially in the design phase were the research of splines, curves and homeomorphic conditions with also mathematical computation and the application of scripting to generate architectural design. By engaging this formal research in conjunction with the socio-cultural and ecological concerns, a new-fangled tectonic is produced: tubes weaving through a structural mesh.
