The Tower of Winds reimagines common water reservoirs as renewable structures in constant evolution. Designed as a competition proposal in 2015 by architect Tram-Anh Nyugen, Markus Von Dellinghausen, Midori Hasuike, and Andreas Nordstrom, the project demonstrates how modular elements, local resources and low construction costs can be used to build state-of-the-art sustainable facilities.
The project is part of an interdisciplinary design research platform founded by architect Tram-Anh Nyugen. Called Impermanent Devices, the project focuses on one the three characteristics of existence in Buddhism “Antiya”, the belief that all that exists is transient.

The theoretical foundation of the project rests on the idea that design can be transformed to fit different contexts, scales and functions. Structures should be able to appear, disappear and evolve in order to facilitate continual change and fluidity of space.
The architect’s work has been applied to several research projects, including an urban planning project in Paris on the Périphérique, a major ring road that separates the inner city from the suburbs in Paris. Another recent live project is a commission from the BHD Star Cineplex to design a cinema in the center of Hanoi, Vietnam. This project gives the cinema a new interactive façade that references Vietnamese elements.
