The Skyscraper Of The Future - Symbiotic Interlock

Symbiotic Interlock

Across the world there many architectural design competitions meant to brings new ideas for the skyscrapers of the future. One of these events is the eVolo Skyscraper Competition and the structure that caught our attention is a design made by Daekwon Park called Symbiotic Interlock.

Symbiotic Interlock

The Symbiotic Interlock skyscraper is destined to “to reunite the isolated city blocks and insert a multi-layer network of public space, green space and nodes for the city”. If you want to enter the competition you have to come up with your own sustainable skyscraper that needs to be technologically possible and environmental friendly.

    I don’t see the logic here. If any one of these buildings was to be raised, how would the interlocks be removed in order not to be destroyed?

    I just don’t get the logic of this. I mean these buildings are like nothing I have ever seen before and I will never see it in person either. So whom ever will see it LOOK @ them for me too.

    I have to question if daekwon park had answered his own question of reuniting isolated city blocks, how well he answered to his own question. I will say no. I still see strong emphasis on vericality, programtically impractical, and structually non-sensical, acutally very dangerous. I will say he has decieving ideas that seems like he had answered his own question of reuniting. He stated that today’s urban spaces are very fragmented, limited and unkind to nature, and he wanted to reunite the city blocks, provide green space, and nodes for the city. However, what he had created is even more fragmented, even to the vertical direction. His design has very limited access both in vertically and horizontally. He just added another problems, rather than solving what’s currently exists.
    I wonder where he came up with this form. But what i see is that he came accross this form randomly, and have randomly placed green ideas. Randomly placing grass does not mean to be green. Also, can you guys imagin all the vibration and noise from the wind turbine ? This will certainly damage it’s own structure also the adjacent builinsg attaced by the bridge. Certainly it is not Symbiotic.

    I had this similar idea years ago, but abandonded it because I figured overall it would just get annoying after awhile because each building would have to have some kind of security at every entry into the building.
