Whirling Observatory seeks to experiment on Genetic Algorithm concept which aims to find a balanced solutions to a geomertical problem using techniques inspired by natural evolution. The objective is to design a form which represents natural cycles, growth and transformation within a sustainable framework which can be achieved by scooping and channelling the wind to generate energy through turbines to be accomodated within the tower, and collecting sun radiation through photovoltaic solar panels. FRP was adopted as the material of fabrication for the advantage of lightweight, quick assemble and easiness to mold double curvature surfaces.
The genetic Algorithm techniques aims to evolve the building form, where the fitness function endeavors to maximize solar effeciency , Dynamism of the tower , solar gain and minimise floors area and the tower footprint.
