Architects often have grand visions to change the world through their creations, but at its core there are always the same elements at their disposal. Inspired by Hello Wood’s manifesto for the Builder Society and its drive to do something more for society, this structure is a tower dedicated to the different elements that every piece of architecture must have: a door, windows, a roof, stairs. Hanging on this tower - which also acts as an observation tower - are representations of each of these components, representing a sort of unavoidable autonomy that architects must deal with by the very nature of their work. These facets are the foundation of every structure, and that is an architect’s manifesto.
