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.
