The Parametric Tower is an exploration into the themes of delicacy, interconnectivity, and spatial quality. The façade of each program type—ranging from residential to commercial office space, retail to circulation, and gallery—is paired to create a different spatial conditionthrough a range in the density of skin. In some program types, an exterior balcony emerges as a result of separating the skin to create more layers of space. Program is pulled through the building vertically, which is a conscious shift away from the typical skyscraper organizationalmodel. Through less layered and more layered skin and small shifts in a unit’s opacity, an overall qualitative gradient forms on the façade of the tower.
