Metaphoric Generic Box
An overdose of form can be easily discovered in the recent projects of Asian metropolises such as Seoul or Dubai. Today’s designers are facing a pressuring environment forcing them to create extravagant forms. The ironic lining in such phenomenon is that, the abundance of extreme forms is degrading the whole architecture into a monotonous state.
Therefore, this project is a result of conceiving a generic cube form against today’s overdose of form. This project aims to tackle various issues of metropolitan life in a skyscraper, rather than clinging on the unrealistic mirage of form.
