The Woven Sky

Cairo University, Faculty of Engineering Architecture Department.

Idea projektu

Woven from light, risen from dreams - a parametric twisted tower that integrates organic woven facade patterns with a dramatic twisting form rising from a waterfront site.

Popis projektu

The Woven Sky is a 40-floor parametric twisted tower situated on a waterfront site. The design features a distinctive woven diagrid facade that wraps around the twisting form, creating a dynamic and organic appearance. The tower rises from a landscaped podium with curvilinear ground floor planning that integrates green spaces and public areas along the waterfront. The project includes multiple floor typologies with organic-shaped floor plates that evolve as the building twists upward. The structural study demonstrates the parametric form generation process through six steps, developing from basic geometry to the final twisted parametric shell structure.

Technické informace

The project is a 40-floor parametric twisted tower with structural studies showing the diagrid facade system. Floor plans are presented at 1:500 scale including ground floor, 1st typical floor, and 2nd typical floor. Building section and elevation are shown at 1:1000 scale. The parametric form generation process involves six steps from basic massing to the final woven skin. The structural system utilizes a diagrid exoskeleton combined with a central core for lateral stability.
