When the
Taiwan Tower competition in Taichung asked participants for an iconic skyscraper,
Visiondivision
responded with a cluster of over 100 slender towers that challenges the
expected experiences within and aesthetics of a 21st century tower.
Tower Town, a result of examining the traditional skyscraper and
questioning its spatial offerings, creates a dense urban environment
with its fragmented massing.
More about the project after the break.

This
field of towers will create an experience that vastly differs from the
single skyscraper. The 100+ skyscrapers will form a network on the
ground level of narrow streets with different vertical views, and in the
sky, with different observation decks for communication purposes (in
addition to structural demands).

“With
our proposed typology, we wanted to make a truly unique experience for
anyone visiting, working in or living in the new tower. Our solution
was to separate the building into over a hundred of sleek towers; this
will make the complex more into a highly interactive and intimate
city district than into one large building mass that has little to no
interaction with its users,” explained Visiondivision.

“The
sensation seeking of a high solitaire object has been the predominant
show-off for the last century where the height has been limited to a
combination of building technique and money…The tall lone building has
been done so many times before, it doesn’t matter if you tweak it, swirl
it, punctuate it, clad it with new materials; it still will more or
less be the same. To make new world wonders, new typologies must be
found, making architecture and spatial experience once again the main
key to success,” added the architects.
