Prototower 03: Bundled Tube

Sean Buttigieg, Ma.Arch., B.Arch., Dragos Naicu, M.Phil. Bundled Tube Tower The aim was to develop a vertical net structure based on the concept of bundling, inspired both by natural systems such as plant cells, as well as architectural precedents such as the Willis Tower in Chicago. Bundling can be interpreted as a multidimensional framework that would allow the design of a vertical net as a function of programmatic, structural and infrastructural parameter

Aim

The Design Research Exchange (DRX) provides an open platform to unite experts from various fields. By exploring architectural topics of shared interest, the DRX promotes multi-disciplinary discussion between academics and professionals. We envision the DRX as an ideal environment for the advancement of fresh ideas and fertile ground for experimentation. The DRX is a powerful tool for examining and advancing architectural techniques and methods, testing new technologies and materials, and informing our future built environment.
