Fibrous Towers of Multiple Natures: A biomimetic skyscraper. Apparently, the concept of “multiple rounds fibrous in nature,” has its roots in the Austrian architectural practice called Soma. The project redefines the nature of the skyscrapers in an urban landscape, biomimetically. This implies that the design is calibrated to be in harmony with nature, and at the same time, it adapts to ensure a comfortable life for its inhabitants.
The physical structure of the tower is a visual feat. It consists of a tower that rises like a vertical fibrous and dissolved as it reaches the base, where the legs touchdown for people to walk around them. The tower has eight feet of the tower in total that were connected by diagonal beams for stability and rigidity. The flag shows a non-hierarchical structure, which contains the open areas and green spaces. The outer legs of the tower extends outward to create platforms to be used as observatories to the public.
What makes this model even more special and worthy of the orientation is zero carbon. The product structure is self-sufficient on-site clean energy from renewable sources. Photovoltaic panels have been integrated into the roof of the museum and exhibition spaces. To allow daylight to cover the structure during the day, effective crystalline modules applied to the roof surface is equipped with opaque and semi-transparent to allow light to cells of permeate. PV system is applied to the skin of the tower, making the whole structure of a solar absorber.
The design of the tower is an example of how we use natural resources responsibly for architectural innovation. Its piezoelectric halms produce energy through movement and can be considered as swarms of floating material.Replication mechanism of flower opening, the blades open and close depending on biomimetic weather and protect visitors against wind and sun.
Fibrous tower is recessed to be a cultural reference, which is used as an observation tower and functionality of Taichung, a city museum and a park. The concept has already gained the credibility and grabbed the second position in the International Tour in Taichung Taiwan. Soma not to certify the structure with a particular message, but wants people to use their imagination to interpret the objectives openly.
