Mixed-use Tower in Madrid | Paolo Venturella
High Rise Public Space Rome / Italy / 2010
6
The 42 storey mixed use tower lies along the "Paseo de la Castellana",
the main axis of the city.
Instead of let urban space at the street level it rise up as a spiral creating public green terraces at different highs looking at the city and mixing functions.
Functions are displaced according to solar exposition in NS axis and WE axis blocks due to the different climatic behaviour they have. Living spaces need hot accumulation so they face south and working spaces need to refresh so they are perpendicolar to solar rays.
