Vahan Misakyan proposes 'Evolving Skyscraper' for future Armenia
Eco Factor: Sustainable skyscraper equipped with cutting-edge green
technologies.
The Evolving Skyscraper has been designed by Vahan Misakyan
(http://www.vahan-architecture.com/) for the city of Yerevan in
Armenia. The structure features geodesics that form three piercing
towers linked by habitable bridges at the top and the bottom. The
skyscraper's three towers provide space for different programs that
include offices, residences and hotels.
The concept proposes to create soft transitions between vertical and
horizontal planes by creating structures that peel off from the ground
and transform into habitable areas. A transportation hub has been
envisioned for the entire region that emerges from one of the
structures while a bridge and a recreational park emerge from the
second one.
The building incorporates the latest in green technology and features
intelligent skin controls which enable light incidence and natural
ventilation to be controlled via mechanical openings. Moreover, the
skin also includes rainwater collection systems, photovoltaic panels
and wind turbines to generate on-site energy.
