studio rob stuart-smith | phase II _ Lif[e]t | thesis brief
The thesis rethinks high density urban housing typology through the removal of lifts cores and corridor circulation by the employment of an exterior decentralized lift system. This results in a topologically complex mixed-use urban networked building typology where building circulation allows for a three dimensional architecture.
By implementing the technology of wireless energy transmission and wireless communication, the external circulation system is capable of allowing for spontaneous communication on demands between users. The temporal activity of the lift system also allows for creating spaces on demand and distributed energy system. The energy system is achieved by collecting the solar energy and transferring the energy wirelessly to meet the demand of users.
Additionally, the temporal variation in facade transparency and lifts distribution and movement, produces qualitative design affects intrinsic to the building daily cycle.
