From Bundling to Beehive

This project proposes a design strategy for super high-rises. The principle is based on a system of bundling. A diversity of spatial conditions, structure, and circulation are brought together into a coherent system that does not rely on floors in terms of its stability. The high-rise is developed as an organic “material,” grown from a set of initiating parameters that result in a building with the ability to adapt to its changing environment. The arrangement of smaller spaces around larger atria have a structural function and form microclimates of varying light and ventilation intensities.
