Fibrous Tower
Firm
Type
This fibrous concrete shell tower compresses the structural and
tectonic hierarchies of contemporary tower design into a single shell
whose articulation self-organises in response to commonly conflicting
design criteria.
The initial topology of the shell’s articulation is algorithmically
generated through a cell division procedure in response to the tower
geometry. The shell is at once performative and ornamental. It operates
as a non-linear structure with load being distributed through a network
of paths, relying on collectively organized intensities rather than on
a hierarchy of discrete elements. The load-bearing shell and thin
floorplate enable the plan to remain column free.
While the articulation is geometrically complex, it operates within
the thickness of a comparatively simple shell geometry, enabling the
use of conventional formwork techniques to construct a highly
differentiated tower.
