James Law Cybertecture revealed the plan to yet again innovate with his design and architectural skills, but this time, the venue is Mumbai. Yes, Mumbaikars, you are about to get an office building in the shape of an egg, right in the heart of Mumbai's central business district.
The project is a cybertecture office building that is aiming to bring together iconic architecture, environmental design, intelligent systems and new engineering, to create “the most innovative building for the city of Mumbai and for India in the 21st century,” according to the company’s founder James Law.
Law’s inspiration for the project comes from looking at the earth itself, and translating that into a sustainable ecosystem derived from an integrated and seamless application of cybertecture that evolves to give a building’s inhabitants the very best space to work in.
The symbolic ‘planet’ form is further stretched to cater for 15 levels of accommodation, housed in the egg-shaped building which is orientated and skewed at an angle to create both a strong visual language as well as to alleviate the solar gain of the building.
By using the egg shape, as opposed to a conventional building, there is up to 20 percent less surface area, with the unique design allowing for up to 30 metre spans of column-less floors.
