Eco Factor: Green multi-storey tower supports rainwater and grey water recycling.
WE-DESIGNS.ORG, an international multi-disciplinary creative group that has always shown its keen interest in investigation of architecture and design within the urban city demonstrates a new face of skyscrapers. Their ‘UP’ project is a multilayered investigative study of an urban tower condition, operated under the logics of the hexagon.
The project sets public and residential spaces into a multi-storey tower by utilizing an articulated folding system that increases useable floor area. The folding landscape has public spaces with natural greenery, making social activity and interaction absolutely relaxing and comfortable. The structure also has room for an integrated piping system that processes, collects, and recycles the rainwater, grey water within the building, and reuses it for heating and other water use.
The roof and piping collects and recycles rainwater. To let residence get mesmerized with the beautiful surrounding views, the structure incorporates a multifaceted façade. The curved window with bio-glass helps to maximum the thermal absorbance of sun light. This poetic intertwining of public space and tower makes an ideal living space for the urbanites.
