DEVELOPMENT OF SKIN

PRECEDENT STUDIES

The facade is articulated in order to suit the spaces that are behind it.It corresponds to priv acy as the visibilityto look inside the spaces depends

on the angle of the observer from the outside. The Innovations Tower uses asimilar facade language to the Aqua Tower, though the skin is made out of 175

horizontal lines divided up into 5 feet long panels that rap around the building.

Therefore, the language of the facade has essential similarities to the SignalBox in Basel, where horizontal panels start to rotate in order to bring in

lighting into to the building. Once the panels start to rotate, theylet lighting in.
