Multi-functional exhibition high-rise
Vault Reinvention High-Rise
Manhattan
A high-rise built from the most basic architectural component: an arch, transformed by light and behaviour into stacked spaces.
Double-layer arches in medieval cathedrals and Chinese pagodas create a hidden mezzanine; the design folds vertical circulation into it.
The vault is extracted as a prototype, reshaped by direction, dimension and distortion, and stacked into a continuous vertical exhibition.
