Given the task of designing a full structural, mechanical, and
facade system for an industrial tower, our group took the
constraints of these physical needs and created an environment
suited to light industrial workshops. Small businesses
populate the tower, and are given ample space for interaction
between groups, and ample light for production.
The facade is unitized for efficient assembly, based on 5’ window
and screen units, and 10’ wall units. The units hang as
a continuous system down the facade, creating an unbroken
thermal barrier across the building. This hanging is made
possible through brackets embedded in the poured concrete
floor.
