Wikipedia as a encyclopedia describes terms. Every term is a word and to describe its meaning other words are needed to explain that specific meaning. In general text can be understood as code, a code which in our latin languages gets combined with 26 letters and various characters to seperate them. Every character can be understood as code and therefore a letter can be substituted with something else and still can carry it is meaning -> translation of information. Wikipedias content is a big mosaic of multiple authors. Every article got contributed by multiple individuals creating the content.

To give the artifacts identity, every part of the building derived from an artifact gets its own substructure depending on a local coordinate system unique to every artifact. By this method the structural subsystem varies and creates a recognizable framework changing in the different area of the building.

Core & Foundations

Megastructure

Substructure

The building consists of two structural systems working together. Similar to the Jean Nouvel proposal in NY, the Wikipedia Vertical Campus is carried by a concrete core and a megastructure outside.

INTERGRATION: advanced structural design

Simulation of the deflections and displacement in Karamba for Grasshopper. The hybrid structure of heavy core and megastructure works well to bring the loads down. Only negative aspect is the deflection towards park avenue.
