The Aether Pagoda
Annotation
This skyscraper functions as a vertical street not only on the inside, but also on the exterior. It is designed in such a way that as you climb, you gradually get from the chaos of the market to relaxation in hotel suites. The design itself resembles an intersection where traditional cultural geometry meets high-tech, futuristic engineering. It is not about copying the past - it is about its structural modernization for the 21st century. The system of external escalators, wide overhanging terraces and many columns directly refer to the historical Buddhist pagodas of East Asia without any unnecessary decorations. The entire pagoda structure is stacked from the fresh market at the bottom, through street food, bars, restaurants to luxurious high-end restaurants or tasting rooms.
