Audacity Tower (2016) Desenho por Nicolas Chammat

''Audacity Tower'' takes the form of a human on the scale of a tower. Its form represents man in search of audacity. To the man who has chosen to have no one behind him.
"Audacity Tower" appeared following my first work interaction with a head manager. Months later, a sculptured modern body just came to my mind, and it was subtitled "Audacity Tower". He was a righteous, steady, and focused man. I remember i cried when he presented his resignation.

Concerning the illustrations, from left to right :
- Hand made illustration with pencils and watercolor,
- The hard part was to create the sculpture inside the software Rhino3D, with the desired triangular skin shapes,
- The third sketch illustrate the steel structure necessary to hold the tower.

The project is at the first level of conception, and it can take time, to reveal the vision from any fogginess.
Simultaneously, i was influenced by Gustave Eiffel's steel techniques used for the construction of The Status of Liberty - New York. Specifically the outer shell or "Layers of Clothing", and how it was, as a secondary structure, hanging from the main braced one.

I think, if we may all say, it is old techniques modernized with today's tools, advanced equipments, and facades construction.
From the other hands, it is daring to pull up a building with same posture, due to load distribution and hand parts swinging from the core body. But with the right references, I'm seeing that pres-tressed cable may be necessary, to assure the required stability with different Designing Code.

As i mentioned in earlier painting, this concept stays on paper until it will be hopefully realized in a very near future.
Hope you like the concept.
