Same programme, two different approaches, I updated the representations of them.
in this version,
instead of having 1 lift, 4 lifts fit into the core.
the ring is 40m wide instead of 32m
red is the shared space, yellow is the void, green is the private, magenta is public programme.also the alignments are fixed, 6m x 6m is the core, shared and void spaces are 8m x 8m and the corridore is wider than the older version: 2m.
If the corridores had ceilings that are transparent/translucent more light would go into the space around the core.
every
two levels (6m) makes one apartment. so on each compartment, there are
8 apartments. every two apartment also forms a corner unit - creating
one compartment when 4 of them comes together.
frame 01 : the vertical shared space for 4 apartments, frame 02 : artificial ground levels with opennings allowing light in, frame 03 : the lower apartments, frame 04 : the upper apartments, frame 05 : public / sports programme frame 06 : continuous shared space for the other side for the other 4 apartments. frame 07 : the void space / potentially to be used as public circulation, restaurants and bars.
the shared spaces in two opposite corners, on every level the rotation also happens for these shared spaces. which can allow level 1-3, 2-4 connections.
this is representing the inner space surrounded by the apartments...
again, assuming the aparment rings are filled, this rotating model is trying to show the negative space around the rings.

not on every level the same corners are the shared spaces,
on the snake chain, the idea was to have one end as shared space and the other corner as void. here, by rotation this rule is applied to different corners.
the void can make space for a slightly larger shared space between different levels.

making the shift of levels a little more extreme can be an option too, right now the shift is 2.5m's on every level.
in this version, only one type of shift is applied after 90 degrees rotation on each floor.
the vertical connection can be provided by the overlapping shared spaces.
a collection of five neighbourhoods.
gap between the rooms and the permanent (yellow in the model above) parts of the building becomes an alternative in-between space.
the tower has a skeleton and stable parts, shown in red on this drawing.
the skeleton is also serving as circulation.
in this drawing the shared / maximum neighbourhood space in the tower is shown in gray. however my aim is to have a broken shared space instead of a giant atrium / courtyard condition.
top: connection types
middle: sandwiched
bottom: cross combinations
there are three types of parralel connections between the rings that you can see on the top next to eachother. all having different type of alignments to the corridore/skeleton.
please note that these rings are assumed to be "filled" in these drawings ignoring the snake ring I previously worked on.

the circulation / corridore is the link between the personal spaces, just like a snake chain.
what is new in this plan is, the circulation and the spaces are seperated. this will potentially allow more flexibility.

I am interested in three types of chains for making links between spaces.
on the left, the link is called box chain.
the middle one is the panther link chain
and the one on right is the snake chain.
Exploration on creation of a tower community.
The anti-mega structure is the family of inhabitable rings.
The interconnecting rings of personal spaces form potentiallyshared spaces in between themselves (the negative).
