The Alveolar Spine – The Lung Analogy

The core of Hyper building 01 is defined by the Alveolar Spine. Taking inspiration from the human lung, we’re developing a porous structural core that mirrors the function of the bronchi

Defining the Volume

To translate this concept into a working hyper building, we are implementing a data-driven deterministic engine. where every form is justified by data. Our process is a negotiation between the Program Requirements, the Environmental Pressures and the generative script that acts as the final negotiator.

Core Systems

Our technical workflow uses the HB01 script to bridge Grasshopper with Revit. We translate base geometry into specific Revit families, including structural framing for the cores and adaptive facade components. To manage the complexity, we implemented parameters that categorizes elements by tower and function. By using rule-based filters, we’ve automated our documentation to ensure high-quality and synchronized outputs.

Axonometric view

Looking at this axonometric view, you can see how these systems converge. We have the Structural Framings providing the backbone, the Floors providing program space, and the Facade Panels wrapping the volume.
