wrapping//folding ideas

to integrate the skyscraper(s) into the site and provide the desired marsh/wet land and human scale promenade, a folding or wrapping design, making the tower "sprout from" or "fold into" the ground is suggested


Here, the tower grows from an elevated green space/solar roof that covers a small-scale storefront zone at ground-level. The green space extends both up the surface of the building and down to the ground itself, in addition to rising back up to create another "ramp" wrapping around the building. In between these elevated landscapes is a plaza designed at human scale. Underground parking is suggested between the tower and its connection to the greenspace; further, elevated greenspace on some sides may protect the area from road pollution and/or traffic.
