High Rise Of Maribor Tower Studio Leader: Jane Burry School or Institution: RMIT University Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory (SIAL) Country: Australia Website: http://www.sial.rmit.edu.au/ http://wiki.sial.rmit.edu.au/ 1. Studio Leader Biography Jane Burry, is an associate professor in SIAL in the School of Architecture and Design and a registered architect. She is a member of the RMIT Design Institute flagship The Future Fabric of Cities. Jane has worked on the research into the continuing construction of the Sagrada Familia church with Mark Burry and directly with the team in the technical office in Barcelona. She has been a visiting senior research fellow at QUT in the School of Design and the Complex Urban Systems Project (CUSP). She worked previously in the research team for the continuing construction of the Sagrada Familia church at Deakin University and has worked in architectural practice and teaching in several countries since completing her architecture studies in 1985. Past research topics included Post Cyclone Relief housing in SE India and the history of house typologies in NW Scotland.

Her work in architectural practice includes houses, housing and public buildings including schools.
degree of rotation and ratio of scaling will be altered and controlled by changing the Floor to Floor height from the backbone.
2. School The Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory (SIAL) is a facility for innovation in transdisciplinary design research and education. It embraces a broad range of investigative modes, involving both highly speculative and industry linked projects.
The procedure in creating a transition effect includes, firstly, the extrusion between the first shape and the second shape, and then create horizontal planes with fill, with the aid of the intersection function, the polylines in between levels were revealed. They became the new floor plates assigned to those levels and scaling was applied.
3. Project Intention The building floor plates are made of two unique shapes which were adopted from the section cut of the wax model. The first level consists of the first shape and 60 points (equally distributed) were assigned along the line. The same shape was then projected onto the next level repeatedly. Upon reaching the mid span of the building the second shape comes in and again assigned with 60 points. and continue projection. The first shape is then reused again at higher levels. The Rotation and Scaling are applied on each floor level driven by a parametric formula. The first rotation happens from Ground Floor to Fifth Floor. The rotation is then reversed upon reaching Tenth floor. A shape transition is then created until reaching the Thirteenth Floor. Lastly, a symmetric reverse governs the rest of the building. The
Design of façade in Digital Project is governed by line, points and planes. Planes are used to govern direction of the prism. Points are created to ensure the lines are connected to create the shape of the façade. A fix length is created to ensure that the frames of the façade are extruded realistically. We decided to fix the pointed area at 60degree angle from the face of the building and 1.5meter long. We those measurements it would create a nice-shaped prism. PowerCopy is the process we used to connect the façade to the building. The flexibility of the façade is entirely governed by the building’s window panels. When the building rotates or scales, the window panels will flex as according to the fixed parameter. That is how we are going to present the flexibility of the façade through the
process of PowerCopy. At the same time, the ring road joins Pohorje sport centre and skiing resort into one unique entity. Team Members Benjamin Yeung Michael Hor Mandy Yu High Rise of Maribor Tower The building floor plates are made of two unique shapes which were adopted from the section cut of the wax model. The starting point of the building structure is to create a vertical alignment with points and planes that are equally distributed. This acts as the floor-level templates for all the floor plates to attach on to form the shape and the backbone will be used to control the height of the building which further controls other parameters in the building.
