The project proposes a speculative tower for a postwar city, conceived not as a conventional skyscraper but as an architectural response to destruction. Inspired by Pamphlet Architecture 15: War and Architecture by Lebbeus Woods, the proposal embraces the scars of conflict as a generative framework for new urban life.

Titled “The Free Zone,” the project rejects traditional reconstruction strategies and instead imagines an alternative urban condition emerging directly from debris and fragmentation. War remnants are reinterpreted as primary construction material, forming a vertical structure that embodies memory, rupture, and transformation.

Rather than restoring the city to its previous state, the tower establishes a new spatial and social order. It introduces unconventional programs and inhabitable voids that attract a community seeking alternative modes of living. Through speculation and radical form, the project positions architecture as a cultural and political act — transforming destruction into possibility.
