Located in the South Caucasus at 41° 43' North Lat. and 44° 47' East Long. The city was founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the Georgian King of Iberia. The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget. The building consists of a two underground levels of storages and parking which connects Kipiani str. and the embankmentre covered in ETFE. </p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Supermarket,Retail,Car Park Pool,IMAX 3D,Residential,Park', 'location' => 'Left Embankment, Tbilisi,Georgia', 'area' => '83504', 'budget' => '', 'consultants' => '', 'awards' => '', 'year' => '2011', 'image' => '758e48dc275b24c204e3b1e99dd4046a.png', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_MGD.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Canava,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Rusudan Margishvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze', 'created' => '2013-12-12 18:15:05', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => null, 'photographer' => '' ), (int) 1 => array( 'id' => '40', 'order' => '44', 'slug' => 'tbilisi-tower', 'name' => 'Tbilisi Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '1', 'content' => '<p>The site is located in the center of Tbilisi near The Dry Bridge between the right bank of the river Mtkvari and Virasaldze streets. The surrounding area is mostly residential with some public buildings and recreational zones like Alexandrov Park, Vernissage Park and Deda Ena Park. The site is mostly flat with a 6m level difference from Virsaladze street. There is a theatre building adjacent to the site and the river bank. Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west. These are the main visual markers in relation to the building. ‘Tbilisi Tower Floating City’ The concept behind this building is the idea of elevated traditional urban fabric as a public platform which acts like viewing platform and terrace overlooking the city.</p> <p>---</p> <p>However, the building is positioned as a conventional tower, and it dismantles at its apex as if lowering its full height to more horizontality. This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p> <p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p> <p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. </p> <p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core. </p> <p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre.

Located in the South Caucasus at 41° 43' North Lat. and 44° 47' East Long. The city was founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the Georgian King of Iberia. The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget.

'Telecom Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. </p> <p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p> <p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p> <p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. </p> <p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core. </p> <p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir. Access to the building is through a bridge over the reservoir.</p> ', 'program' => '', 'location' => 'Santiago, Chile', 'area' => '736', 'budget' => '', 'consultants' => 'Archiplan (Chile), Engenuiti (UK)', 'awards' => '3rd prize winner', 'year' => '2014', 'image' => '658816db396d695f3374e623da2644d7.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_HALO.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Canava,Petras Isora,Nikoloz Japaridze,Anton Khmelnitskiy,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Daniel Lareau', 'created' => '2014-02-05 18:59:27', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => '', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '2', 'title' => 'Competition', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:56:55', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:59' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '90', 'order' => '35', 'slug' => 'cubic tower', 'name' => 'Cubic Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The Site</p> <p>The site is located adjacent to the edge of the Aire river in Leeds and serves as one of the access points between the river bank and the city.

Each terrace overlooks a different part of the city and is programmed for different types of entertainment a restaurant, a bar, a gym, a spa, a pool and a sky park on the roof.</p> <p>The building is divided into four distinct volumes. By simple shifts of these volumes we open up a certain space on top of each volume creating recreational platforms for the public as if reclaiming the site area. The area of the site is equal to the total gained roof terrace area.</p> <p>This proposed landmark building is a vertical landscape with emphasis on preserving the horizontal. It interacts with the Leeds skyline as viewed from without or within.</p> <p><br /> Programme</p> <p>The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on different levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Leeds. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed.

Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building.

Located in the South Caucasus at 41° 43' North Lat. and 44° 47' East Long. The city was founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the Georgian King of Iberia. The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget. The building consists of a two underground levels of storages and parking which connects Kipiani str. and the embankmentre covered in ETFE. </p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Supermarket,Retail,Car Park

'Telecom Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. </p> <p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p> <p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p> <p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. </p> <p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core. </p> <p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir. Access to the building is through a bridge over the reservoir.</p> ', 'program' => '', 'location' => 'Santiago, Chile', 'area' => '736', 'budget' => '', 'consultants' => 'Archiplan (Chile), Engenuiti (UK)', 'awards' => '3rd prize winner', 'year' => '2014', 'image' => '658816db396d695f3374e623da2644d7.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_HALO.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Canava,Petras Isora,Nikoloz Japaridze,Anton Khmelnitskiy,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Daniel Lareau', 'created' => '2014-02-05 18:59:27', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => '', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '2', 'title' => 'Competition', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:56:55', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:59' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '90', 'order' => '35', 'slug' => 'cubic tower', 'name' => 'Cubic Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The Site</p> <p>The site is located adjacent to the edge of the Aire river in Leeds and serves as one of the access points between the river bank and the city.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre.

The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget. The building consists of a two underground levels of storages and parking which connects Kipiani str. and the embankmentre covered in ETFE. </p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Supermarket,Retail,Car Park

The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. </p> <p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p> <p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p> <p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. </p> <p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core. </p> <p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre.

Located in the South Caucasus at 41° 43' North Lat. and 44° 47' East Long. The city was founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the Georgian King of Iberia. The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget. The building consists of a two underground levels of storages and parking which connects Kipiani str. and the embankmentre covered in ETFE. </p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Supermarket,Retail,Car Park

'Telecom Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. </p> <p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p> <p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p> <p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. </p> <p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core. </p> <p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir. Access to the building is through a bridge over the reservoir.</p> ', 'program' => '', 'location' => 'Santiago, Chile', 'area' => '736', 'budget' => '', 'consultants' => 'Archiplan (Chile), Engenuiti (UK)', 'awards' => '3rd prize winner', 'year' => '2014', 'image' => '658816db396d695f3374e623da2644d7.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_HALO.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Canava,Petras Isora,Nikoloz Japaridze,Anton Khmelnitskiy,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Daniel Lareau', 'created' => '2014-02-05 18:59:27', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => '', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '2', 'title' => 'Competition', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:56:55', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:59' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '90', 'order' => '35', 'slug' => 'cubic tower', 'name' => 'Cubic Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The Site</p> <p>The site is located adjacent to the edge of the Aire river in Leeds and serves as one of the access points between the river bank and the city.

Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west. These are the main visual markers in relation to the building. ‘Tbilisi Tower Floating City’ The concept behind this building is the idea of elevated traditional urban fabric as a public platform which acts like viewing platform and terrace overlooking the city.</p> <p>---</p> <p>However, the building is positioned as a conventional tower, and it dismantles at its apex as if lowering its full height to more horizontality. This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre.

Located in the South Caucasus at 41° 43' North Lat. and 44° 47' East Long. The city was founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the Georgian King of Iberia. The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget. The building consists of a two underground levels of storages and parking which connects Kipiani str. and the embankmentre covered in ETFE. </p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Supermarket,Retail,Car Park

'Telecom Tower', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '2', 'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. </p> <p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p> <p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p> <p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. </p> <p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core. </p> <p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre.

Located in the South Caucasus at 41° 43' North Lat. and 44° 47' East Long. The city was founded in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gorgasali, the Georgian King of Iberia. The city has more than 100 different ethnic groups. Tbilisi has been historically known for religious tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be found within less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from each other. The city lies at an altitude ranging from 380-770 meters above sea level and has the shape of an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city's climate is moderately humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 12.7 °C; 0.9 °C in January, and 24.4 °C in July. Absolute minimum recorded temperature is -23 °C and the maximum 40 °C. Snowfall average 15-25 days/ year.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Site The site is located in the centre of Tbilisi (Geo) on the (Northern) Left bank of the river Mt'kvari. The site is an abandoned open air (non-standard) football pitch and wild greenery not being used for more than 15 years. The size of the plot is 23.600m2. The surrounding area morphology varies there is Mushtaidi Gardens from one side and the bier brewery from the other adjacent to the site. There is a residential area with the library and some sport facilities nearby. B. Paitchadze UEFA standard stadium with maximum capacity 80.000 people is located in about 200m from the site. This stadium is main counterpoint to the development with its size and height. Eight lane embankment is about 6m below the Mushtaidi gerdens supported by the concrete wall. This level difference gives good conditions for phasing of development of the plot. The site is encircled by the First Children's railway constructed 1935 (see below). This project conciders renovation of the railway with new mini stations integrated into the development. Programme The building has complex programme distribution on different levels starting from the below: Office Lobby, Supermarket, Storages, Technical, Swimming Pool, Cafes & Restaurants, Retail Offices (upper deck) The Deck IMAX 3d Cinema Ellipse Residential Towers The interaction of the programme and the stage of the proposed building emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to preserve the usage of the site as a place where large amount of people can use the site as a continuation of Mushtaidi park. Underneath the deck-platform would be used for hanging cafes & restaurants. There is the direct access to the IMAX 3D cinema ellipse from the park. A focus has been given to introducing a raised deck-platform, to liberate the land and connect directly to the garden. The deck platform has different purposes throughout the year a platform beach in the summer, and a ice skating in winter. The deck platform will be divided into residential and public areas. IMAX cinema is positioned in the middle of the development thus connecting all functions of the building becoming a centre of composition and the programme. The twin towers 160m tall represent dynamics, solidity and distinguished purpose of the building. These towers will be the tallest towers in the city. Introducing the deck-platform as the main interactionpoint of the programme was derived from an analysis of public spaces, community life and local climate. The relative access and recreational opportunities for each component of the programme resulted in an optimal development focus to meet all possible public needs. All functions of the building have separate access points to the deck platform making the deck-platform an open connection zone through the retail. The project relies on one level of building programme in order to maximise the use of land and budget. The building consists of a two underground levels of storages and parking which connects Kipiani str. and the embankmentre covered in ETFE. </p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Supermarket,Retail,Car Park
