THYSSEN KRUP ELEVATOR COMPETITION - ZOZ
Type
ZOZ, Zephyr of Za’abeel: Situated in an open area, the ZoZ stands at 170m tall, and will have the height to access the naturally cooler air. It wicks air down through its shafts – in a manner similar to a traditional wind tower. As it descends, the air moves past the programmatic pods, helping to keep its shell cool and thus reducing the demands of mechanical cooling. When a zephyr flows down through the air vessel, it will pass through a variety of horizontal wind turbines which generate and supply the energy needs of the site. The dependable dynamics of the traditional wind tower – ecological in its own right – is adapted to use the technological advancements of the 21st century.
ZoZ proposes an elevator system which surpasses the definition and versatility of its contemporary predecessor. The elevator is reinterpreted to become not only a mode of transport through a vertical building, but to become the structural form of the building itself. The reflective elevator cabins – looking like beads of water running down the surface of the building – run on a rotating hinge; it will swing on a track around the elevator cabin, depending on its direction of movement.
