HYBRID FUTURE + BIONIC TOWER

CONCEPT - Drawing inspiration from the compact foam like structure of the bone tissues, we considered two autonomous cells that grow vertically and can be programmed as per the desired hybrid brief which consist of various interdisciplinary programs and space co-relation vertically at the same time maintaining the structural balance and load distribution as

Aeroscraper

The Aeroscraper is a mixed-use super-tall tower aims to be a new paradigm for office building in the age of personal air travel. Technological advance makes the boundary between work and life blurred, we are in constant transitions between the two, moving from places to places. The design aims to make this transitional status more attractive and productive.

Flying pancakes

In 2100, with the growth of cities, tall buildings became a necessity. The quality of spaces also changes: they evolve into hybrids, units with increased functional potential. A person lives, works and moves in a new way. Capsule drones, private and public, single and multi-cabin, became places for life, leisure, work and just means of transportation.

Magnet - Magnetic City

Magnet, a network of hybrid skyscrapers built up with magnetic levitation, rise in this Magnetic City. They form systems of clean energy supply and urban green space. They link the regions in the city, accommodate the functions of working space, commercial center, as well as the home for future transportation; attract people to gather here as a daily basis.

The CityGate

The CityGate is a new high building tipology. This is the stop of the ever-wandering nomads who populate the coliving and the permanent residence of groups of people or singles, the stop of ships and boats, drones and hyperloop, privat flying cars and airplanes. Planes flying to Moscow for the whole world can land on each floor of a skyscraper.

Liberty Utopian Network (LUN)

In the future, freedom might be scarce due to the AI movement. Following that, our purpose was to liberate people within their own individual space and create a free flowing community all within itself that isn?t only fluid in form and connection but also in functional distribution.

AGORA Platform

Agora Platform can be exported all over the world. The horizontal building (and the funicular) can multiply the connections with the ground, the basement and the waterways and ports. The horizontal building is a translation of a new transversality between the new lifestyles linked to work and space.

Fluid Spaces

Space is consisting of multi-layers like transportation, working, living, and the Presence of every individual person. The project "Fluid Spaces" is an architectural response to all these dynamic interactions. In this project, space is created within self-optimizable fluid expanded in a 3d magnetic field based on the evaluation of all different layers.

Helix

Skyscrapers are bound to change the way they are perceived, from architectural marvels and landmark buildings to necessary multi-purpose edifices whilst still being accessible to nature. The project is an architectural proposal to new typology where work, fly and play intertwine to form Helix.

Air TO Z

As we move further to 2050, flying cars will take a huge role in city development, as they will change the city infrastructure and living, making us question how they will change the city. Air TO Z is a bridge from the ground to the skies a megastructure and an infrastructure that assist and challenges the city future problems in such development.

Federal Office Tower

When we think of skyscrapers of the future, we think of the eastern world. But we are looking for the challenge of designing in an already consolidated city, where technology and diversity comes first and is tested with mastery on the western side of the world.But the biggest challenge is where to build and re-architecture will be the solution.

Work x Fly

This project shows how to integrate work with air transportation in skyscraper in the future. The concept is to use VTOL drones as both taxi and personal vehicles to drive employees to work. This futuristic building with rotating extended floors gives intriguing look on how future travelling to work might look like.
