AWARDED FIRST PLACE WINNER
The architectural design character of the ultra-modern design scheme has evolved through the vertical urbanism that addresses the social requirements for government facilitation, creating convenience for the human fabric, in particular. My concept includes the following elements for an international design competition:
Biomimicry (Vines) – a nature-inspired innovation in architectural branding, featuring a building with a twist, where two persons dance as if in ballet. Each floor plate of the building moves with a half-degree, giving it a dynamic movement. This structure boasts a dynamic volume and a double skin facade, combined with multi-level office spaces. The juxtaposition of these elements creates a dramatic effect in the facade design, contributing to the broader theme of urban transformation.
