KuleTepe Tower Project
This was a couple of months ago, Nilüfer Kozikoğlu (TUŞPA Architecture) has offered a design for a competition, the new TV Tower in İstanbul. Her design intention was mainly focused on the spatial qualities of the observation decks and the visual interpretations on the overall shape of the tower. Interesting part of this project was the experience of a collaborative design process. Nilüfer sketched her design ideas in Rhinoceros, and I tried to implement those ideas within Grasshopper to understand and calculate her intentions. I sometimes offered some geometric solutions such as the proximity triangulation of tower surface. Result was an interesting animation, showing the tower and surrounding area of course with the background of beautiful İstanbul.
