Skyscraper is the vertical dictator. Skyscrapers throughout the world are contending for superiority in height without any architectural regulations in number of floors and height. Once the highest dictator loses its name to even higher successor, it gradually fades away in our memories. Skyscraper is already the vertical city itself with large scale in both population and economics which is comparable with outstretching horizontal city.
Perhaps 100 years late, indiscreet competitions for height among skyscrapers without mutual connection will cause miscellaneous expenses for renovation. In order to resale, people may eliminate the old skyscraper by planting a bomb on its waist and substitute it with brand new one.
The most important points of issue in these days are horizontal severance, disconnection between infrastructures in neighbor skyscrapers and refuge in case of emergency.
Our suggestion reminds us of growing plants. Skyscraper is possible to grow continuously through vertical construction of units which consists pair of joints and horizontal expansion of plates.
Each boundary plate between the pair of joints which is located in the middle of each unit works as public garden, maximizing the whole shape line of the building itself. They are able to form a city in air by forming links with neighbor plates continuously.
Skyscraper which is located between the boundary plates expands to most appropriate scale according to the population of users. Each and every user of this building is allowed to own ground with in a 100m in radius.
We can think of skyscraper as a column as well as boundary plate as a slab. They construct a gigantic city in air, generating integration of function and maximization of working efficiency.
Connection with neighbor buildings through the expansion of the boundary plate is generated from its function such as residential, commercial, official, public, infra, green, financial, educational.
Each function is located in important position according to mutual efficiency of enterprises, emergency, residential and official system. Since each position is connected closely, immediate escape through the closest core within a radius of 100m in the case of emergency is possible.
It provides structural stability with circular shape. As we move to lower plates diameter gets larger in order to support concentrated load.
Skyscraper is the physical complex with astronomical value economically. We offer desirable vertical city tomorrow by suggesting skyscraper with growing possibility involving urban connection, rather than suggesting destructive renovation like eliminating the building after haphazard construction.
