Circle Square Triangle (Lift Tower)

The Tower takes a clear and radical position, lifting the main volume from the ground and allowing extreme permeability at the open ground floor. By suspending the housing units on three gigantic legs a new landscape appears at the ground floor, where the mineral condition of the streetscape morphs into an artificial rocky terrain, interspersed by small pockets of forest. In the future, as the conditions on the neighboring land will change, this porosity will allow for free pedestrian trajectories through the plot, discovering an alternative network of calm yet enlivened paths, away from the chaos and noise of the main streets. The legs of the tower comment and activate this landscape with their relatively delicate presence, thus allowing light, air and views which are simultaneously in the service of the domestic in scale and bold in their vertical extension and structural bravery.
