ORIGAMI TOWER

Year: 2023

Category: Residential Architecture

THE ORIGAMI TOWER WAS BORN AS THE SUPERIMPOSITION OF SEVERAL CELLS, STUDIED AND CREATED IN A VERY LIMITED SPACE OF CUBIC SHAPE WITH 7m SIDE. THE DUPLEX, FROM WHICH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOWER LATER FOLLOWED, PRESENTS AN ELEMENT OF INTERNAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LOWER AND UPPER LEVELS, BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS THAT DISTINGUISH IT CAN BE HIGHLIGHTED, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE WINDOW FRAMES AND THE THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC FUNCTION: TO HIDE WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE AND DO IT THROUGH A GAME OF “FOLDING” (TERM FROM WHICH THE WORD ORIGAMI COMES FROM) . THE DIFFERENT CELLS WERE THEN CONNECTED THROUGH AN EXTERNAL LADDER WHICH BECOMES THE EMBLEM OF THE WORD "PARASITE" AS IT IS PURPOSELY INSERTED INTO THE CONTEXT.
