For our tower project we were inspired by organic forms, responding to tentsmuir forest we decided to base the form and structure on organic elements like plant stalks and shells. We decided on trees, we basically just started paper macheing a tree one day on the courtyard, the weather was very nice for it, bit nippy! We looked at a structure which emulated the rings of a tree and which the paper mache would act as a rainscreen and be hung off, eventually we just decided on a massive concrete structure with the mache acting as a rainscreen which would represent some sort of rusted steel facade. The form created from the tree mould would create intricate intresting spaces and viewpoints as you circulate up around the tower......Best to just look at it, the sketchup model probably shows best what we were tryin to do.
