Concept:
For this project, I chose to design my tower to have space observatory characteristics. I wanted to create
a tower that had a bit more purpose rather than a monumental building. The concept of a rotating
satellite at the top in a gear-like motion was what I was aiming for. This would ultimately be an idea for
an observatory with lower-level office spaces with the satellite gathering information at the pinnacle of
the tower.
Process:
I started with the original tower model in order to get a linear base for my observatory. I would imagine
a circular building where people can walk around while having ambient light from outside. Towards the
middle section, I added ridges to the base cylinder to give it more of a mechanical structure that would
be able to rotate the lab. The satellite is meant to move across its railing to give the structure
characteristics of movement.
Materials:
While I would have had this building be designed with more neutral colors, I went with something a bit
more distinguishable. The cyan middle pipes are meant to resemble a glass exterior on the floor’s levels.
The dome has its metallic texture consistently with the inner structure of the building.
