The project proposes an adaptive architectural typology serving as a drone base in Taipei. Specialized in resolving matters across mountains, bridges, rivers, and pipelines, drone training by AI, self-governing storehouses, and delivery centers within the configuration of a high-rise modular structure. Through Grasshopper and AI vision simulation, the space aids in various training sessions like obstacle navigation as well as urban camouflage. Project reacts to land and to scales into the urban infrastructure, which not only an infrastructure of protection but also a surveillance approach.
