Giancarlo Montano Hof and Tower Lexicon. In developing a methodology, the two dominant urban building types on the site were taken into consideration. The intent was to explore a lexicon of “Hof” (courtyard) and tower to understand how a dialogue between the two typologies could inform the site. As means of evaluating how the formal consequence of the “Hof” and tower would play out experientially, each piece of the catalog was checked against the premise that everyone in the building should have access to privacy, to the city, and to the sky.
