MIRRORING AS A GENERATOR

​

The system behind the design was to mirror a base geometry, keep the mirrored copy, transform and merge it with other elements to create different forms. Each level has a different base geometry and sequence.

The design has a central core that guides the crossed diagonal circulation. The core acts as a portal to move through the mirrored elements.

Playing with different materials and transformations for the base geometry allowed the creation of four different atmospheres within the building: outdoor open spaces, shared indoor spaces, private indoor and outdoor spaces.
