Vortex Tower var arbetsnamnet på en London skyskrapa design av Make Architects , ett London-baserat företag som leds av Ken Shuttleworth . Byggnaden skulle ha stigit till en höjd av 980 fot (300 m) med 70 våningar. Vortextornet föreslogs för kanten av City of Londons yttre östra kant, [ citat behövs ] men byggdes aldrig.
Vortextornets planerade form var en revolutionshyperboloid . Strukturen skulle ha vridits till en spiralform med ett avsmalnande centrum och bred bas . Projektet baserades på ett annat koncept, med rotation som möjliggör användning av lutande pelare som raka strukturella element av hyperboloid .
Shuttleworth uttryckte förvåning när designen jämfördes med den för liknande Kobe Port Tower , byggd i Japan 1963. Han sa "Jag har inte sett det förut och det var inte en inspirationskälla för Vortex." och noterade att Kobe-designerna "inte använde hela byggnadens kuvert", och att tornen skulle ha olika färger.
