EPHEMERAL TOWERFALL 2022
The project addresses the existing
Belvedere Luxury Apartments Project
in Noida City Development. Due to
crashing real estate market, hundreds
of abandoned reinforced concrete
carcasses remain. This situation exists
alongside a severe housing shortage
crisis, with millions of people lacking
adequate housing.

The proposed tower transforms the informal housing of several slums into the formal typology of skyscraper luxury apartments in Noida. Instead of demolishing the abandoned buildings, a timber space frame structure made up of timber joint modules, inspired by Chidori joinery, winds around the existing concrete structure creating a new life for these buildings and new livable and sturdy homes for the inhabitants of the slums and huts.









TIMBER SPACE FRAME

Mass timber jointing parts are digitally fabricated and transported onsite. Wall panels are infilled using found materials. Parts can then be disassembled, moved and replaced as needed with minimal cost and waste.
Structure invades the concrete buildings and is connected to the exisiting towers with metal brackets for support.
