一个初步研究模型是由一个方形的便签纸组成,描述了一座塔的概念,这座塔不是一个完全规则的箱体,也不是一个清晰的,违背空间的普通盒子。相反,这个模型表明了一个概念上的软几何结构,或者更好,表明了一座扭曲的塔。塔沿其高度旋转——轻微旋转,顶部顺时针旋转,底部逆时针旋转。平面的形状和大小随着塔体的旋转而保持不变。形式的曲率通过水平和垂直的钢板网来传递,该钢板网框起来一个玻璃外壳。随着曲率的增加,钢板之间的间距减小,以此来保持平面玻璃面板细分。

A preliminary study model made from a square pile of note paper,describes a concept for a tower which is not quite a regular box,nor a clear,spatial departure from the regular box.Rather the model suggests a conceptually soft geometry,or better,a twisted tower.The tower twists along its height–rotates slightly,both clockwise at the top and counter clockwise toward the bottom.The plan shape and size is maintained as the tower volume pivots.The curvature of the form is conveyed by the horizontal and vertical steel plate grid that frames the glass enclosure.As the curvature increases,the spacing between plates is decreased to maintain the planar glass panel subdivision.
