The Absolute Design Ideas Competition was held to find a design for the Earth + Mark tower & adjoining urban space in Mississauga, Ontario [Canada]. The one of the six design finalists, shown, is from Rojkind Arquitectos, of Mexico. A 60 storey building, the tower’s main feature is the use of a ‘double membrane’ which makes the structure appear light and flexible.

The structure is composed of a concrete central core, and a concrete exterior membrane. The space between these two structural membranes ‘creates decked balconies with natural landscapes and ergonomically designed topographies, which enriches the living experience by an in-habitable in between’ [from noticias arquitectura].

‘…our concept is based on the intertwining of modern cultures in a global time, linking the past and the future (2 membranes) unfolding like an organism, from the seed within. its free-flowing lines and expressive forms are sympathetic to the human body, mind, and spirit, and are rooted in a passion for life and nature that is expressed in this Iconic tower’ [from noticias arquitectura].

The plan [above] and section [below] show that this ‘residual’ space allows for a variety of exterior spaces that are still within the protection of the second membrane – and since the structure doesn’t interfere with this in-between space, it can be opened vertically as well.
