The Port Tower is a model for a new city concept with movement at its core. It is a vessel that brings together different people in a shared place, to build up experiences and share them back, therefore enriching and healing the cultural fabric of society, like a high street.

The main principle for the tower is the idea of providing mechanisms & infrastructure for the gathering of people, technology and environmental resources. The spirit of this ‘gathering’ is the sharing of ideas, resources, materials, spaces and experiences. The more diverse the ‘movers’, the richer the gathering and with each contribution, the tower itself will evolve.
