The purpose of this project is to use the Minimal Surface as a productive structure for guiding and shaping the design process of highrise residential. These surfaces have the minimum surface-to-volume ratio They are the minimum surface to coverage a space And because of the minimum use of material, these surfaces can be considered for sustainability. These surfaces can provide more than any other formal solution to the integrated fluid flow experience by establishing a specific inside-to-outside connection. and They have good resistance in terms of structure and can be effective for architects.
One of our challenges is making connection between design and research to explore and discover the potential of habitatale surfaces of the minimal surfaces structure, and to further align these surfaces and explore strategies for architectural application. To discover the geometric systems from the box as one of the simplest forms of geometry, we began to study the properties of these Surfaces And then, through the study of various techniques, including morph and tessellate, prototypes were produced After studying the specifications of the techniques, we discoverd Murph changes the nature of geometry To find out more about this technique, we looked at how the spaces were produced by Murph In such a way that the forms produced by the tessellate technique turn around the secondary shape of the rotary, which generated forms the so called morph After several experiments, we concluded that the form production strategy should be designed to create an integrated structure And the control over the production of spaces by minimal surfaces and morph technique must be done to the maximum and completely conscious This was our greatest challenge, so that no part of the structure could be distinguished (Murph Structure) and not created by chance.In the following, with the production of a unit of the Minimal Towers Block, it creates a maximum control of spaces that utilizes the technique of tessellate and then creates a morph of that tower. This is an attempt to redefine the structure and connection of highrise habitats spaces by using the Minimal Surface’s habitable.
Another challenge with regard to the location of the site, which was next to a park with urban sprawl, was to find a common response between the communal space and the connection with the nature of the park. For this reason, to further interact and increase productivity for park and residetial tower users public green space designed Multi-storey and rotary and no deadlock surfaces that can be freely moved on or converted into pause space with possibility to creation a shadow Ultimately, this public space is a free platform for the events and social interaction for all members of society.
