This mixed-use tower project claims to be a vertical urban landscape with signal value.
At the eastern entrance of the principality, this mixed-use tower project claims to be a vertical urban landscape with signal value. Its steep terrain should symbolically make it a link between the upper and lower districts of the city but also between water, earth, rock, plant life and man. Soaring towards the sky, the architecture is rooted like an "inhabited tree" in the rock to better draw its energy from it, unless it is one of those banyan trees, with inhabited roots, emerging from the abandoned temples of angkor. The program includes an hqe tower (business center, public and private housing, rescue center, international school, shops, nursery).
A fascinating carbon protection grid partially shields them from the sun, akin to the lush nature rising at the base of the skyscraper.
This perfectly earthquake-resistant design integrates into the landscape through a powerful architectural gesture.
