Sunpath, and solar access have played a significant rolein the design of high-rise buildings for over a hundred years now. The project aims to take this thinking to the next level and craft high-rise urban, spatial and energetic performance informed by the sun. The tower’s mass is generated with computational design tools and algorithmic modelling to create a form that allows sunlight to penetrate onto public spaces at key times of the day.

ORGANIC FACETS
Facade Documentation Tony Owen Partners : INDIVIDUAL WORK
Task - Rationalise the facade design in 3D, Construction Documentation. PROJECT BRIEF The Facade design is inspired by small window openning present in the heritage context. These geometries are tesselated as fractal on the front elevation with varying angles and colours to create a dynamic urban presence.
The facade design was designed in 3ds Max which was handed over to me when I had joined the firm. With the help of my advance Rhino skills, I rationalised the facade modules into 6 typical glazing panels with 112 unique side panels for economical and fast construction.
ACADEMIC
↑ 112 Unique Side Panel Fabrication Drawing
Fabrication Drawing generated from Rhino Model and dimensioned in Autocad
6 Typical Glazing Modules → The facade modules were rationalised by optimizing the tilt of the panels to 6 different angles.
← Rendered View
Desired design is developed into accurate construction documents with neglible design changes
↓ Brick Cladded Steel Pylons

Possible Builting Mass as per site Constraints
IDEA Like a tree firmly rooted in the ground, the RBI has raised our country to new heights by being a solid pillar with a strong and deep foundation. Like the branches and millions of leaves of a tree the RBI has defied every detractor or possible comparison for it to reach its current soaring height purely because of its firm bond with the Indian people.
Rooting the building into ground
DESIGN CONCEPT The solidity and reliability of the institution of RBI is translated into a triangular building form. The triangle, it is well known, is one of the strongest shapes and its three dimensional form the tetrahedron, is the strongest single module of any framework. The deep rootage and groundedness of the RBI is represented by the building’s walls that continue, in a slope, onto the landscape, as if to tie the whole triangular mass into the ground, giving the appearance of the building growing out of the earth itself.
Diagram illustrates the idea of building envelop folding out and gradually decending into the ground to express the ‘ROOTING’ and bonding with ground AA
