Honorable Mention: Open

This is a tower with the main idea of layering. The structure, living, circulation and public space are all components of this layering idea. Within the structure layers, the tower has a double diagrid which eliminates the function of the concrete core. By doing so, we open up space for a vertical atrium. The tower as a whole is united a sheath as well as vertically.
