#Repost @o.staro.dubova ・・・ E2A Eckert Eckert Architekten London High-Rise, project 2015. Text by the architects: In contrast to the conventional tower block with its central core, generic sequence of spaces, and peripheral load-bearing columns, a primary zone with a roughly structured space is created through the separation of these core functions; this serves as an expandable “residential base.” Because the individual cores connect to the façade, and as such directly access the exterior, it is possible to execute an extremely low-tech building. For example, the bathrooms are naturally ventilated and daylight reaches both the core zones and the open interior spaces. The four cores are comprised of the main entrance with support functions, two separate bathrooms, and a kitchen with an adjoining terrace. In between, the remaining space is free for the individual owners to shape as they wish. The high-rise as a series of vertical “parcels,” each with its own flexible spatial configurations, is a new development model for urban real estate. Due to its compact ecological and economical footprint, the building model is suitable for both complex situations as well as small transitional functions or for works in progress. . .
