*랜드마크 타워 [ Daniel Cheng Lee&Jae Hwan Lee ] Vernon’s Vectors

문화, 사회, 정치 그리고 경제적인 힘의 균형들이
만들어 내는 다이나믹한 흐름은 빌딩의 볼륨을 형성하는 주요한
힘으로 작용한다.
이것은 마치 자연계의 정확한 순환고리와도 같이 형상화 되는 것이다.

향후 도시 전체를 이끄는 아이콘이자 도시를 컨트롤하는 중심공간으로
계획된 타워는 캘리포니아 베논의 도시를 구성하는 알고리즘을 수평에서
수직으로 연결하며 공간들을 연속시킨다. 이러한 연속적인 공간의 볼륨은
도시 캐릭터를 함축하여 타워의 형태로 구체화시킨다.

도시의 수평적인 켜를 수직으로 벡터를 변화시켜 파라메트릭으로 디자인했다고
하는데 아무래도 자의적인 해석이 많이 들어간 형태의 볼륨이지 않을까?
패러메트릭은 그만큼 자의적인 해석의 경계가 불분명하다. 아직까지는...

It is understood that cities and buildings are largely shaped by a dynamic flow of interrelated cultural, social, political and economic forces – the nature of possible interfaces between architecture and its various settings within the contemporary city. Rather, Vernon’s Vectors is a re-interpretation conceived by Daniel Cheng Lee and Jae Hwan Lee of how a building may deal with architecture on an urban scale. Rather than relying on the surrounding context of the city to begin addressing the project’s behavior, a singular yet versatile design system is implemented to influence the surrounding context to create an iconic image for the city – an inside out approach to urban systems.

캘리포니아 베논

From an initial urban analysis of Vernon, California, the notion of the curve is extracted, abstracted, and injected back onto the city as a generative component. The spline is then exploited to create a tower and museum with intelligence gained from the high-rise and medium building studies. Specifically, The programmatic spaces found within the tower and museum are parametrically generated by means of controlled rotational repulsion that are extruded in the Z axis to create three dimensional space. The tower vertically tackles issues of the blend between interior space vs. exterior envelope, structural feasibility, figure-ground relationship and scale through coalescence and dispersion. The museum, on the other hand, uses the curve to address atmospheric effect and scale via a fiber optic lighting system in which the shapes of the extruded profile faces are determined by gallery spaces and circulation. These processes are threaded together in hopes of creating an iconic figure for the city of Vernon.
