The architectural archetype of the tower is a tall, vertical structure that serves variety of purposes. Historically, towers were built for defense and provided a vantage point to observe and protect surrounding area. As architecture evolved, towers began to serve a more symbolic function, often representing power, wealth, and prestige, representing both practical and symbolic values.

Tower can be seen as a symbol of power, authority, and surveillance. The height of a tower offers a vantage point to see and control surrounding area. As such, towers have been used throughout history as symbols of political power and control.

One example is the Tower of Babel, which represents the hubris and ambition of humanity to reach heavens and attain god-like status. In the medieval period, castles and fortresses often had towers that served as lookout points and strongholds for those in power. Similarly, during the Renaissance, towers were used as symbols of the wealth and power of the ruling class. In modern times, watchtowers and guard towers are commonly associated with surveillance and control, particularly in the context of prisons and border control.

The metal profiled sheet as the primary material in our project serves to subvert the traditional associations of grandeur and monumentality with towers and monuments. Instead, the material is often used for utilitarian purposes, it covers construction sites, is used in low-cost private buildings or sites. Where architectural harmony has no place to exist. That contrasts with the typical connotations of power and authority associated with towers. Metal sheets is arranged in a rythm a dynamic, upwardly pointing pattern and makes the tower seem taller than it is, emphasizing the tower’s volume.

The reflective nature of the metal also creates a sense of ambiguity, as the tower’s appearance changes with the surrounding environment and lighting conditions.

We aim to create the tower that allows individuals to observe situation without placing themselves above others or emphasizing their own power. The tower serves as a symbol of courage, inviting visitors to open doors that may seem closed and explore the unknown. Through this exploration, one can begin to discern what is truly important.

The tower’s prefabricated wooden frame with metal profiled sheet cladding provides a sturdy structure that can be easily assembled and disassembled multiple times. The non-destructive bolts in the wood make it possible to take the frame apart without causing damage, which makes the tower a versatile and portable construction. The deepening of the vertical bar into the ground adds extra stability, while the car tires create a large footprint and ensure the structure’s stiffness.

One of the most notable feature of the tower is the periscope inside, which offers visitors a view of the surrounding area. By turning the upper mirror, visitors can adjust the view and enhance their experience, and also help to adjust reflection, make it sutable for the hight and hence angle of view. The periscope works through a simple but effective mechanism, based on the principle of a shutter, but with a much simpler and more streamlined design, avoiding the need for complex gears or mechanisms.
