This project is based on the constitution of bone and cartilage as a bio reference by having traits of the growth & clustering of the cells that operate in a dynamic manner defined by a rule set in order to conform these elements.
The concepts of biological processes from the cells that self organizes to produce bone & cartilage were applied as the concept of the building, this led to research which current developments in nanomaterial & nanostructure can be applied for taking the project conception further via this assemblages as a personal allowance by looking into the technological developments that could make possible to develop bio structures in a near future for practical applications in architecture.

Overview:
At the interior of the building’s envelope the inner spaces appear as cells (spheres) defined by an algorithm that analyzes the maximum volume possible of each cell taking into account the boundaries that the envelope represent, this is taken into account in the algorithm as the fitness criteria.  
As well an algorithm that evaluates the distance from the cells to the envelope and produces a continuum path was applied for the internal vertical and horizontal circulations of the building.
As a design feature an algorithm that resembles the cellular automata was implemented by growing bulges in the structural shells in order to apply concepts of digital life in the bio processes applied as design traits of the building conceptualization.
Floor plans / zoning :
The “cells” develop a type of branching system that connects to the structural inner envelope in order to perform as a single structural element avoiding differential sinking into the ground performing as a monolith. 
The envelope structural surface is a continuum single shape, in the inner shell of this we encounter an envelope with  a topology similar to the inner constitution of the bone which is less dense similar to a sponge conformation, this is reflected in a thick structure (inner shell) with larger dimension voids in comparison to the outer paneled shell with a more dense topology meaning that the voids are less greater than in the inner shell.
Attached to the double layer envelope is the self-adaptive surfacing (colored in red) which is a representation of the cartilage composition, this morpho-dynamic surfacing grows from the ground level and moves upwards enveloping the tower.
