My final design project was 4 separate towers generated from 3D Voronoi.

I went through many different design phases to get to this idea, also cutting down the number of towers from 6 to 4 because it looked too full. I wanted to have a fair bit of open space between each tower, but also to have some towers touching others.

For my design I chose to design a mixture of Organic Architecture and Responsive Architecture. I originally started off modelling a structure with curved surfaces trying to make it Organic, but in the end I used the Voronoi tool to get randomly shaped geometry which I used to create my building.

The responsive Façade I had in mind was one that would follow the sun, allowing as much natural light as possible into the building.

I went through many different designs to get to my final design choice. I went through making helixes and a range of other geometrical shapes before I made more changes to my design proposal.

The site I chose for my building was the corner of Castlereagh Street and King Street, This area is created by the junction of Pitt Street Mall, Sydney Tower, Castlereagh Street and King Street. My proposal for the building on this site is a variety of open area shops that are topped by apartment buildings.

Each apartment building is designed to get maximum visibility of the surrounding city, because each floor is a different apartment.
