Crazy Junkyard

This mixed use tower in Costa Rica is by Spanish firm Moho Architects, will be a new landmark, providing crucial amenities for the city, sheltered from the local climate. the concept is driven by a progressive environmental strategy that is expected to establish new benchmarks for the region. The tower splits and creases independently as it rises into the sky. This ‘head split’ configuration, permits natural lighting, while sky courts filled with vegetation punctuate at intervals the tower and mitigate the hot climate, which also can be resembled with fingers. The 25-story building will be used for both commercial and retail facilities and will feature, offices, conference rooms, a hotel and casino, and a restaurant that offers panoramic views over the city. The project is expected to be completed in 2012.
