The anniversary edition of September 2015, on the occasion of the completion of 20 years of architecture through EK Magazine, includes the utopian project “Floating Skyscrapers” of our firm. The proposal comprises three buildings of equal height, composed of individual modules that are arranged in order to slide one on the top of another. A glass surface/base connects the three volumes which give the impression that are floating in the water. A motive for this design conception was the notion of “solitary waves”, which are transformed constantly due to sudden changes in the bottom of the sea. These water forms come together and move as a ripple in order to divide again and return to their previous state. This process indicates the presence of a type of organic “memory”. This particular approach provided the opportunity to explore new potential relationships and ratios, which can be imported in architectural design through other, more dynamic organization systems.
