chain tower
typical tower
Same programme, two different approaches, I updated the representations of them.
exterior walks, terraces when the two towers intersect
plate showing the exterior shared space and ground floor
sports fields are not shown on this image
running / bicycle track

finally i can start testing potential views since the last few days of constantly crashing rhino...
you are in Tower 2, superfloor looking at the top floor of Tower 3 and you can see Tower 1 on left, behind the lifts...
no materials, still quite depressing space, only two people walking...

Showing the chain of public spaces on the ground level.
On the ground level of the towers, two lifts are expected to be used by public. The two side lift cars would be the for the residents which will also have a different level for entrance.

The index is a 6 plate sized 1:250 scaled drawing folding to 45 x 45 cm.It will show different types of chain connections in one single drawing also will be a guide for views from outside and inside the building.
Typical approach limits the public programme to the ground level 0 to the +4.This diagram shows exactly the same size and types of the programmes i'm dealing with in the chain tower. One of the developments on the strip, Metro City Mall is a good example of many "islands" of iconic towers in Sisli, Istanbul. Kanyon Mall, Sapphire, İş Bank and Astoria all follow a similar strategy.In the typical approach, 8 apartments are placed around the core on every level. the seperation of the shared spaces and the private spaces are very clear. Even if there's a shared space in the tower, it is completely seperated from the public. Letting public use the upper floors just like the ground level will create a 24 hours alive tower just like a city in itself with 3.000 inhabitants.
these are the levels 01 - 05 in one compartment,
all shared spaces are aligned in this diagram. thicker lines are the folds.
here, the chains can be seen as they are placed on top of eachother shifting 4.5m.

the ground level opens in one corner to the city, the removed mass is distributed around the entrance as individual low-rise buildings.
I wanted to keep the ground level empty as a open park because of the lack of green space in the city. Also to encourage people follow the path as soon as they enter the site without spending time on the ground level, go up into the building's public spaces.
the image on the left shows the old exteriors which were quite ugly (tuesday)now the exterior is large glass windows. different curtains could make an interesting image.
