A New Reality of the Cooling Tower

About project

Developed as part of the Architectural Design Workshop 1 course, this project explores habitation in high-rise structures. A residential tower is inserted into the shell of a defunct nuclear cooling tower, creating new realities by blurring the boundaries between mankind and technology, reimagining the high tower as a beacon of progress and a symbol of human potential. Society is a system, and the system is society , energy, infrastructure, community, environment, and nature: interconnected in a cyclical exchange of equal giving and receiving.
