Parametric Towers (Parametric Design)
59In this video, you can look at different parametric towers with parametric designs.
Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry has revealed a tower for the Luma Arles arts center in southern France. Clad with 11,000 irregularly arranged stainless steel panels, the distinctive tower was designed to be a landmark structure for the arts center, which was established in 2013 by Swiss collector Maja Hoffmann.
The form of the building and the arrangement of the stainless steel cladding was informed by the nearby Les Alpilles mountain range northeast of Arles and how they were depicted by Dutch post-impressionist painter Van Gogh. (pic 1-2)
Informed by the fluid forms within China’s rich traditions of jade carving, Morpheus’ design combines dramatic public spaces and generous guest rooms with innovative engineering and formal cohesion.
Conceived as a vertical extrusion of its rectangular footprint, a series of voids is carved through its center to create an urban window connecting the hotel’s interior communal spaces with the city and generating the sculptural forms that define the hotel’s public spaces.
The design resolves the hotel’s many complex programs within a single cohesive envelope. Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) was commissioned to build the hotel in 2012.
ZHA designed the Morpheus as a simple extrusion of the existing abandoned foundations; using this rectangular footprint to define a 40-story building of two internal vertical circulation cores connected at the podium and roof levels where the many guest amenities were required. (pic 3-4-5)
At the height of 314 meters, the skyscraper was the tallest building in Thailand when it topped out in 2015, although it has since lost the title to a residential tower that is one meter taller.
"Even the very top of the tower is surrendered to the public, so there is not only a public square at the ground, but human activity rises along the pixellated shaft to the top floors of the building which are given back to the public domain," said Scheeren.
The observation deck includes a glass deck cantilevered out from the building to give visitors views directly down to the ground more than 300 meters below.
Called The Spiral, the 65-story glass tower is slated to rise at 66 Hudson Boulevard, as part of the massive Hudson Yards mixed-use development that is now under construction on the west side of Manhattan.
"The Spiral combines the classic ziggurat silhouette of the premodern skyscraper with the slender proportions and efficient layouts of the modern high-rise," said Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, founding partner of BIG. (pic 9-10)
