Helicoidal Skyscraper, Architectural concept in Manhattan, US.
The skyscraper features three overlapping sails that revolve around a central trunk, creating a dynamic form based on a golden spiral pattern.
Between 1968 and 1974, Italian architect Manfredi Nicoletti developed plans for this 565-meter-high business center at the southern tip of Manhattan.
The structure's design drew inspiration from mammalian anatomy, incorporating biological principles into its innovative architectural approach for urban development.
The building's helicoidal shape reduces wind pressure while its central nucleus contains three interconnected cylindrical trunks housing vertical systems.
Steel-wired trunks maintain traction on external strips, working with the static system to minimize structural bulk and distribute loads efficiently.
