Description
All towers are visually and audibly connected. Each tower has a sound chamber, which broadcasts and receives sound from all other towers, so you can talk, sing or just listen to people in the other towers. Each one has its own dynamic volumetric composition which resembles the signal fires, and also can be used as a luminous beacon so towers could talk to each other with light and form, thus the tower itself acquires its own language and ability to communicate.
Upper floor: viewing platform is placed on the third floor.
Middle floor: café is placed on the second floor, partially covered from wind but still providing a picturesque view at the surrounding area.
Ground floor: a sound chamber is arranged on the first floor — each tower can hear the others, so all of them are connected with sound.
The three-dimensional composition is formed by sticks, it reminiscent of signal fires that burned throughout the life of the tower.
