concept

The building is conceived as being organic, grown from an inner-logic, a DNA similar to the human DNA, that structures and integrates all the different aspects of it's architecture into one coherent organism. While the first phase program is concentrated in a clear formal object, the second phase program is spread out horizontally into a sloping podium that slopes up towards the West, away from the tower . This landscape forms a continuation of the public deck and park-landscapes around the tower and will be accessible to the public as a lifted park just above the river-embankment
