Form
We liken the genesis of the project to calligraphy in that a period of assimilation
of the complex brief led to a highly articulate ‘gesture’ that
negotiates the complex formal and techical constraints:
- an awkward stepped spiralling towertop site
- a client request for views in all directions
- the ability to nuance thermal performance (in respect of stringent Building
Regulations)
- a need to modulate its structural form (to respond to an unknown structural
capacity)
- the need for a lightweight prefabricated construction logic (to avoid nuisance
to the occupants)
