Academic Project: Residential Tower
This project focused on the development of a residential tower facade, exploring its role in aggregation, assembly, and integration. Inspired by the dynamic, sun-responsive facade of the Al Bahar Towers, the design rationalizes the surface to create an adaptive, sustainable structure.
The tower’s organic form features circular openings and a kinetic facade that adjusts according to the sun’s position, optimizing both light and views. Each circular opening is supported by structural elements, while a central structural column provides stability to the overall design. The minimalist aesthetic harmonizes the manufactured elements with the natural environment.
The rotation tension within the facade contributes to the structural stability, effectively reducing wind loads and minimizing sway—an essential feature for a desert climate.
