The structure of the model consists of two main components: a solidly built core, which forms the basic structure of the building and an organically shaped, horizontally aligned lamellar shell.

The project is a 300-meter-high skyscraper located near New York‘s Central Park. The inspiration for the building design comes from a dress from the SINTOPIA collection by Iris van Herpen. Orientation was found above all in the flowing lines and the multi-shaded layers of the dress.
The geometry and facade of our building are based on the haute couture dress Look 10 from the Ludi Nature Collection by Iris van Herpen. The sweeping fabric served as a template for the slightly twisted towers. We extracted the geometric shape of the squares from the dress, slightly distorted and projected them onto the facade of our design.
The design idea for the Streamline 57 was dictated by the parallel fluctuating lines of a dress which was manufactured by the dutch Designer Iris van Herpen. Similar to the dress, this skyscraper is defined through the interplay of several ribbons.
With its lucid lines and solid form, the Cloud 133 protrudes from the metropolitan environment with an eponymous height of 133 meters and presents itself with both dignity and aloofness.
The Holographic Tower is based in Manhattan, New York and stands out because of its unique facade. It is geared to a dress of Issey Miyake’s 2016 collection and depending on the viewers perspective the tower appears differently.
The 250 meter high tower The Curve is located southern from the Central Park and is opposing the Trump Tower. Aim of the study was to develop an abstraction of a dress by the Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen into a facade. Throughout the process a dynamic skyscraper emerged.
The complex form of the tower is based on a simple cuboid with the height of 90 m, width of 24 m and length of 26 m, which was edited with boolean operators.
