:::The Kai Tak project:::

It's an urban system whose every elements, towers and infrastructures are generated from the same two « guilding lines ».
It results that each single element of this city maintaines a relationship one to the other, at least in a formal relationship.
It also results that the towers are not autonomous buildings that have only a relation to the sky but are strongly related to the ground, to the landscape.

The « guilding lines » are established as a succession of ground level sectors and special locations on which they elevate on an higher level, the rules that opere on this urban scale developement are not yet clearly defined but one can consider that the module is one tower.
The spirale or helicoidal organisation that they are following are evocating a form that can evolve, an animated form. It can also describe the volume of the construction on a precise way.

At the building scale, the two guilding lines rotate on two opposite senses that are going up to the top of the tower, describing the enveloppe limites and then, describing the core limites, going down to the ground level in order to continue their way to an other building.
At this scale the module is a twoPI rotation. It generates two slabs between the enveloppe and the core that are interconecting in order to produce a autostabilised structure working with torsion.
The modules sizes and shapes, are affected by their environement density or complexity.
