In a metropolitan context like Tokyo ,Urban Swirl seek to provide various experience through space in different architectural form, and yet different forms are synchronize in a larger scale to complete the ‘whole’. Urban Swirl examine the opportunity to connect the vertical with the horizontal space by building connections in between towers, as well as building connection between the towers and the site plane. In such way, it allows the building complex to be more connected with the rest of the city. In this project, we offer a design of a ‘cluster’ of buildings which compose of three major towers and the connections between them. On a site size of 360,000 square feet, it serves multiple programs including cultural, recreational, business and residential. The complex itself is in fact a ‘mini city’.
Swirling Progra ms Instead of traditional categorized program organization, we propose a new concept of “Program Intensity”. The “Program Intensity” that we define in this project refer the intensity of the program activities. The new concept creates swirling programs and tie up the program with the overall site organization. Starting from the edge of the site, the program intensity gets stronger as the program swirls into the buildings. The program intensity change in accordance to the rotation speed as it speeds up or slows down.
