VERTEBRAE

Annotation

What happens between ground and sky when the elevator erases the middle, letting you disappear below and reappear above? Vertebrae refuses that simplification. Its name grows from a structure that does not hide its logic. Like a spine, each segment carries the levels above, transfers weight downward, and protects the axis of movement, while the floor plates act as discs between bones. Vertical life here is not reduced to an address. Twelve cars serve seventy-one floors in three zones, making the wide, daylit stair the tower’s main logic as it moves through atria, gardens, markets, views, and thresholds of privacy. At the crown, the mechanical cylinder becomes the room at the end of the climb, where the stair stops, the atrium opens, and the building reaches the sky.
