EVOLUTIONARY EXOSKELETON The structure of the Tower is based on a steel exoskeleton rather than a traditional structural core model. Three main structural spines weave along the facades, varying in terms of depth, width, and rotation in response to vertical and lateral forces as well as geometrical rules set by the design team. Similar to the inside of a turtle’s shell, these spines are merged together to form a hybrid of monocoque and frame-and-skin construction types. The structural morphology becomes that of smooth gradients between surface, surface relief, and strand which is a continuing interest of EMERGENT.
