Vita Tower

Reviewing the traditional methods in creating modern architectural spaces and utilizing them in modern profitable style is one of the biggest challenges for architectures.
Current project is one approach like a cone–shape brick kiln except that this feature–the structure of cone – shape inside interior void has got a considerable amount of air suction and this volume of fresh air helps the ignition–substance burn much better. But in this project , we are trying to use of this especial chimney effect and the point is that we are to explain how it is working in greatly higher efficiency that we can utilize this created air movement with an efficient way.
The process of forming of this project is, supplying the regional and urban needs. This project is about the Afghanistan capital–Kabul, a city having lots of problems such as water treatment, water Supplies, waste water system and sewers after 3 decades war. Mentioned project by a natural suction system from abhorring inlet void toward outlet opening and because of pressure difference between these two Channels. Of course this air movement cause spinning rotor blades wind turbine in cone–shape and generate electricity, this electricity helps water treatment and water supply in the submontane areas.

Project description

This project is consist of tree part.
1. The aerodynamical structure of tower.
2. Solar chimney system located in the crown of the tower for strengthening air current suction.
3. Central water treatment system and saving water reservoir in different height of tower.

Technical information

1. This aerodynomical structure claiming better breathing and other vital occasions. downer slut of the tower is artistically designed ,trying and it is centralized the air movement by tower root – base to central void while the upper sections slot in the body tries helping air movement of central void by multiple suctions in the way of interior air movement .The tower locating and air suction slot regarding climate and the area prevailing wind are beforehand considered to be adopted by climate condition to be stable. This aerodynomical form of tower inspires a symbol of breathing ,vita and relief in this area.
2. The metal plate of tower crown is designed to be able to work as solar chimney. The rule of this plate is to strengthen the process of suction by heating the atmosphere around by direct shine which is generated by sun.
3. Drinking water of Kabul city is supplied by ground water . And one of the quality of this city is the abundance of ground water level. This current project generated electricity by wind turbine can get the needed water for water treatment system and after passing stages of purifying we transfer them into water reservoirs located in different part of tower height. It can be supplied to the city water system and run it to the different place and more better to say that another reason of locating water Reservoir in high place of tower causes a better water pressure for better water supply in submontane area.( Gravity water system-the current pressure of water helps this process needless using other energies)
Totally this project with reviewing over traditional architectural has created spaces with different abilities and this way we could reply vital needs of the area by utilizing the stable energies.
