MSS TOWER
The design approach for the MSS Tower project embodies the intrinsic qualities of urban elements, deriving meaning from their connection to the environment. Architectural excellence is a product of deliberate design and the dynamic interactions between people and their surroundings. The MSS Tower’s evolution, transitioning from a home for academics to a city landmark, has introduced unique challenges. The design addresses these challenges by revisiting brutalist architecture principles, where form follows function, and teaching sustainable operations aligned with social, environmental, and economic considerations. The primary objectives are twofold: first, to seamlessly integrate the tower with its surroundings, fostering accessibility to green spaces and reducing noise-related inconveniences; second, to adapt the building’s historical features to modern usage while safeguarding the rights of future generations within the city. Throughout The design process, I prioritize questions of adaptive reuse, always mindful of the delicate balance between preserving heritage and introducing innovative functionality. The design encapsulates our commitment to creating a harmonious, functional, and sustainable future for the MSS Tower, respecting the past while embracing the future of urban design.
