Skyscraper, the vertical city, advance studio, school of architecture Lund, Sweden. For Flemming Frost, architect. The module system skyscraper developed over time to be more of a theoretical and formalistic architecture assignment then I first expected. Questions like what is vertical life, what is a facade? Is the architectural volume  just a face or a picture towards the viewer or is it a reflection that amplifies the function, movement, architectural idea, etc.? Questions like that led to the experiment with the module combined in a complex structure rendered by aspects like, face, landmark, movement, mass etc. A small sample of the final result can be viewed below in diagrams, figures and illustrations. The site was located on Tribeca point, Manhattan, New York
