【競賽名稱】: CTBUH International Student Tall Building Design Competition
【主辦單位】: Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)
【競賽主旨】:
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat is the world’s leading resource for professionals focused on the inception, design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities. Founded in 1969 and headquartered at Chicago’s historic Monroe Building, the CTBUH is a not-for-profit organization with an Asia Headquarters office at Tongji University, Shanghai, a Research Office at Iuav University, Venice, Italy; and an Academic Office at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. CTBUH facilitates the exchange of the latest knowledge available on tall buildings around the world through publications, research, events, working groups, web resources, and its extensive network of international representatives. The Council’s research department is spearheading the investigation of the next generation of tall buildings by aiding original research on sustainability and key development issues. The Council’s free database on tall buildings, The Skyscraper Center, is updated daily with detailed information, images, data, and news. The CTBUH also developed the international standards for measuring tall building height and is recognized as the arbiter for bestowing such designations as “The World’s Tallest Building

作品名稱：The Seed
設計概念：
“The Seed”, a stage before the bloom of flowers, symbolizes new life is covered by layers, rooting down, developing upwards, and infinite possibilities may be quietly sprouting. This project explores a new type of the refuge especially for the tornadoes. Existing refuge houses are constructed in the form of after-the-fact remedy. In this case, the losses will be relatively large. In the era when space demand is gradually expanding, super-floors will certainly exist. The high-rise structure is difficult to resist the tornado scale above F2. In addition, the building serves as a research center with high-precision equipment, so we need to ensure the stability of the structure. Therefore, I use “The Seed” to explain my architectural concept. With the idea of “rooting, ” I will build the structure deep into the ground, reducing the degree of shaking, more like the seed body in the soil, and the ground as a natural protective layer. Just like seed germination has different stages, we can make different deformations according to different levels of tornado grading. Additionally, considering the local power generation structure is transforming, I integrate a research center and some stores into the township. When the tornado leaves, all “The Seed” buds rise slowly from the ground, and the whole sea of flowers will bloom with blue dazzling light. It is a tenacious life that will stand still after the tornado, and it is the representative of Texas in the United States – Cornflower.
種子，花朵綻放前的一種階段，新的生命被層層包覆，往下生根，向上發展，無限的可能正悄悄萌芽著。
現有的避難屋都是以事後補救的方式作出避難，這樣的話損失一定會較為龐大，在現在空間需求逐漸擴大的時代，超樓層是必定會存在的。
高樓層結構是很難以抵抗的而在龍捲風級數Ｆ２以後的，加上建築物為研究中心，具高精密度設備，不能有太大的搖晃。
因此我以種子來闡述我的建築理念，以「生根」做為發想，我將建築物深入地面，減少搖晃程度，更像種子身在土中一般，以地面做為自然的防護層。就像種子發芽有不同的階段，根據不同等級的龍捲風分級，我們可以做出不同的變形。
當龍捲風離開後，所有的種子自地面緩緩升起，整片花海綻放藍色耀眼的光芒，那是在暴風過後依然屹立不搖的頑強生命，更是美國德州的代表–矢車菊。

作品名稱：Utopia of De-deforestation
設計概念：
Forest Renaissance is a restorative method of forest management, which is not based on economic productivity. In this practice, certain trees are selectively harvested while causing minimal damage to the rest of the forest. In this design, we re-implanted the amount of trees that were felled into the tower. The long-term aim of this method is to systematically fell mature trees, while leaving the forest ecosystem relatively unaffected.
森林復興是森林管理的一種恢復性方法，它不是基於經濟生產力。在這種做法中，選擇性地收穫某些樹木，同時對森林的其餘部分造成的損害最小。在這個設計中，我們重新植入了被砍伐到塔中的樹木。該方法的長期目標是系統地種樹木，同時使森林生態系統相對不受影響。

作品名稱：Tower of Gene Storage | 2100 of Singapore
設計概念：
“ Architecture is not just sculpting a space, it’s sculpting an experience, an environment to enhance our perception of that space. ” said by Nishi Verma.
Instead of sculpting the tower by imitating gene form, we focus on a new material made by plasma, which solve big data saving through a developing steel pipe. According to this new material, we’d like to create a mutual interaction between citizen and a integrated service system of tower. People can upload their data directly towards the tower as a cloud. If the data reaches a certain amount of upload, the gene tower will change colour at any time. This tower is a space created with twisted threads set up in multiple directions in a steel frame. It expresses mutual behavior between human beings and virtual technology. Storing gene as a static activity, saving big data is as a dynamic activity. This interaction provides an ambient experience like a cosmic dance. Meanwhile, the external spiral curve of structure opens a conversation between urban and nature.
此案運用電漿提供高樓大廈電力，整體建物的光纖是電力載體供夜間照明，透過光纖穿線的形象，試圖修補人類與自然的關係；基於細菌遺傳學的預估表示，數據化DNA有朝一日可以與當今的儲存技術競爭甚至是超越。此建物為乘載人類希望的基因塔，建造一個保存全世界農作物種子的貯藏庫。基因塔是為了在大規模的區域性或全球性危機期間防止其他基因庫中種子的丟失，保護全球生物的基因多樣性。
此案跳脫一般思維，並非透過模仿基因形式來雕刻塔型，而是專注於電漿製造的新材料，通過新開發的電漿鋼管解決大數據儲存問題。藉此在市民和基因塔綜合服務系統之間建立交流，人們可以將他們的數據直接雲端上傳到基因塔。如果數據達到一定的上傳量，基因塔將隨時改變顏色。這座塔是一個空間，在鋼架上設有多元方向的扭曲螺紋，象徵人與虛擬技術之間的交互行為。將基因儲存為靜態活動，節省大數據是一項動態活動。這種互動提供了像宇宙量子舞蹈般的環境體驗。同時，結構的外螺旋曲線打開了城市與自然的對話。
