REFLECtURE
REFLECtURE (Reflect+Nature) The Islands New York is made up of five islands. Most of them in Manhattan, New York has played a central role, most think the images of New York is Manhattan. Rapid population growth from 1910 to this place (about 230 million) due to the dense growth of cities is compressed. So more and more developed cities, while the identity of the city (island) is increasingly losing the Gorman. No one currently recognized as the city than the island of Manhattan, affluent layer will have a collection of images. We land, identity (the island) and do not forget. Manhattan Edge-Reflecture(Reflect+Nature) The project is a symbol of the island of Manhattan, far into inner-city recognition is sought on ways to improve. Edge of the island, water and land meet with the recognition of boundaries caused us to forget who lived through the symbolic identity, not looking at the same time as bleak inner-city streets is to deliver a new landscape. In addition, these series of accidents due to the mutations created architectural images of Manhattan Wanting change is to reset.
Flat’scraper(Reflection & Refraction)
The influence of the Russian Constructivism architecture has created a mutant. As a result, the current image of Manhattan, the island image’s gone in the past. Manhattan, for restoring the identity of the reaction of thought (reflection and refraction) are thought to be the spatial obstructions meet the new city of skyscrapers and found a way to see. At this point, using the mechanism of the periscope, the heart of Manhattan can be found at the edges, and is used as the active building systems.
Architecture conative system-Reflection &Refraction
Skyscrapers and modernization of a legacy of conceptual thinking combined with new building systems, creating an image of the city. This is implemented through the periscope mechanism, to obtain energy through reflection and refraction index, and divergence is even. It also reflected the image of the city streets, driving yet another transformative space, a new symbol in the city at night, creating a new image.
