V Towers is fruit of an iconographic will and of the strict functional and urban planning specifications required for the project. The size of the requested development and a meticulous study of the functional program seemed to indicate a need for two apartment and office towers over a commercial podium. Our project tries to distort this predictable layout in keeping with the other new buildings of the development, and proposes a dynamic building where the two towers, instead of being set over a podium, emerge from a common knot on the base and lose weight while growing up. The result is a building with two arms raised in a V.
