The Typology of apartment buildings in general tends to be static and monotonous, that monotony is inadequate for the life of urban people who are always moving around dynamically. The Design is an architectural idea that tries to present and express the dynamic life of a society that is always changing and developing throughout time.

The abstraction of the basic design idea originates from the ever-evolving flexibility and spirit of architecture, so that the building becomes the hope of a residential complex that is open, functional and adaptable to the needs of residents and the surrounding community. This is seen and manifested through a design with a sustainable, playful and dynamic spatial experience. The results of the materialized composition are expected to become a prototype for a Sustainable community activity center in the middle of the city to live in, do activities and play.

The mass of the tower that rotates in an axis and is arranged diagonally to respond to the sun’s glare in the east and south winds results in various lighting and shading in one building. The facade consists of pivoting planes that help in dealing with tropical climates. The passive and active pivots provide flexibility with adapting the suns glare, rain and wind according to the functions and needs of different occupants.
