THICK WALLS

Open your mind to the possibility that the walls of your building can be thick, can occupy a substantial volume - even actual usable space - and need not be merely thin membranes that have no depth. Decide where these thick walls ought to be. To contain shelves, cabinets, displays, special lights, special surfaces, deep window reveals, individual niches, built-in seats and nooks, the walls must be at least one foot deep; perhaps even three or pour feet deep.

Graphene reinforced concrete walls enveloping the rooftop area are covered in hexagonal patterns of three layers. Thick walls cut off all the acoustic energy by reflection on the bottom half (250mm thick), and by diffusion on the upper half. Three levels of pattern smoothly immerse the lower it gets, firstly the smallest scale of 25mm deep, consequently next one of 50mm and lastly one of 100mm.

Wall height is corresponding proportionally to the average noise levels measured on the facade.
