Tower Proposal – Conformal Tectonics
The
concept proposal is located in Manhattan’s South Street Seaport as an office
tower with an adjacent parking structure. In its inception the tower is a
product of preserving angles within a complex plane grid, which has been
interfered by a Mobius geometric transformation. By manipulating a
two-dimensional grid using asymptotic developments, it generates a series of automorphing
patterns and higher dimensional structures. These elements applied to the
skyscraper become an articulation of vectorial components that shift in a
concave - convex path along the vertical structural members, creating a series
of curves within the curtain wall expression. Along with the structural
dynamics of curvilinear geometries composed of vector components, the façade
treatment is also layered with a secondary structure. The distribution of the
primary and secondary tactile frame members synchronizes structural forces and
visual impact creating a conformal manifold of structure and surface.
Patterned
geometry has many properties that contain elements beneficial for structural performance,
historical reference, geometric expression, and spatial configuration. With the
current scheme the tower makes use of such strategies and logic, but is condensed
within a conformal geometric massing creating a tractor bundle of fluid
formation. By utilizing mathematical geometric variants in its configuration,
it sets a series of angle preserving parameters which generates conformal
transformations on space and surface manipulation. Using this technique or
approach can lead to many variations which lead to infinity based curves and
forms, radically dense configurations and intersections. In this project the
path was more of a Mutatis Mutandis
of a conventional tower; that is “changing the elements which need to be
changed while acknowledging the differences.”
