Sky Oar: Conceptual Skyscraper




The "Port Town" flavor of Stockholm, Sweden for which this skyscraper is destined served to define its form and organization. Because Stockholm is planned in a medieval manner, the town has many hearts, or organelles that define important centers. These different organelles, spaced about as they are, counterbalance each other, much the same way the oars of the port's ships work against each other to propel. Throughout Stockholm there are many plazas and places of rest; an organization that is brought into the different centers of the structure as well as the space that is formed beneath.
