PROPOSAL

Jasmine Tower spans 790 m², standing prominently at 60 meters with 22 above-ground floors and an additional 3 underground, redefines architectural inspiration by drawing from the intricate design of the jasmine leaf. The external façade reflects the midrib and veins of the leaf, gracefully twisting and rotating as it ascends, influencing the corresponding rotation of the floors within. This organic design is more than an aesthetic choice; it's a structural intelligent supporting system.

Inspired by the central vein's role in nutrient transportation within a leaf, the tower's midrib is a vital element enhanced by a high-performance cabling system. This system connects each level and integrates smart building technologies, creating an intelligent and responsive architectural marvel. The decision to twist the main cube adds a layer of complexity to the design. This architectural element provides a unique visual identity and serves functional purposes. The twisting may enhance structural integrity, optimize views from different angles, and contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal. Environmental considerations play a crucial role in the design. Carving the tower based on sun and wind movement is a sustainable approach. The carved sections could allow for natural ventilation, maximize daylight exposure, and reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.

The tower's structural system employs post-tension slabs, a key feature facilitating the creation of expansive terraces. This innovative construction method optimizes the use of space and enhances the building's aesthetic appeal. The midrib, a vital element in the tower's design, is 3D printed by an ultra-high-performance concrete material UHPC. This technology not only reinforces structural integrity but also allows for the realization of the twisting design while ensuring the overall stability of the building. The combination of post-tension slabs and a robust cabling system reflects a thoughtful approach to structural engineering, enabling the seamless integration of architectural creativity with engineering precision.
