Partner Studio, with architect Rawand Amin and Parsha Architects, designed Future Towers at the main entrance of the Future City complex in Erbil, Kurdistan, as the first mixed-use building of its kind in the region.
The flame-shaped towers have an integrated structure and skin. Their gradient of porosity increases higher up, changing the atmosphere along the height.
The towers
Future Towers is a work sample: the architectural design and its copyright belong to Partner Studio and Parsha Architects.
My role
The architect was Rawand Amin, with Parsha Architects. My role, while I belonged to Partner Studio, was computational designer. I did the parametric 3D modelling of the facade and form, built the complex subdivision surfaces, developed the panelling, and designed the gates, the curved stairs and the landscape. I also prepared the facade visualisations, isometric drawings and detailed 3D sections, and the 3D files for the external visualisation studio. Renderings are by Lifang, China.
