Ryohei Koike & Jarod Poenisch - Nested Skyscraper

Tired of endless concrete structures, Koike and Poenisch wanted to deviate from typical rigid forms within their design. By 'nesting' the core of the building within such a delicate materiality gives the design a fragile aesthetic that can 'adapt to climatic, urban and programmatic conditions with the use of advanced materials'. Through using this textile the skyscraper 'seeks to blur the distinctions between interior and exterior'.
