Above some images of my latest lost competition entry for the Tokyo fashion Museum, organized by Arquitectum. In this project i tried to implement the sine wave algorhithm to develop a free form facade gently wrapping around the building. Moving away from the tasselated surface exercise, the project addresses the possibility to unfold a continuous pattern facade as a unifying whole mimiching the complex yet lawful articulation of natural patterns.
Various options were studied for the material and the texture of the facade: steel mesh, fabric...The facade is attached to the primary structure of the tower by steel brachets; the brachets hold a series of steel frames from where the fabric/mesh strecthes from.
Inside the envelop, a series of event spaces (or sky lobbies) help breaking the monotonuos stacking of floor plates providing runways for fashion shows while adding stability to the tower by connecting the two structural north-south facades. The sky lobbies were developed with G.Piacentino's Weaver Bird application for Grashopper.
