INTRODUCTION
This project is the direct result of an extensive research on the inner works of bubbles and how they work together to create minimal surfaces and tension working structures.
Eötvös is a mixed development tower located in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, and takes part in the future Del Valle City development, which seeks to create a “small city” in Valle Oriente, inside Monterrey, consisting of arround 50 skyscrapers to be built in the next 30 years, all of them hav-ing mixed uses.

The site itself is currently used to hold different sorts of activi-ties, from parachuting to cycling. The area has three impor-tant buildings: Dataflux, Comercial América and Hospital Zambrano, and during the next three decades, Del Valle City contemplates to build 50 skyscrapers and buildings up to thirty-stories high.

The starting point to this project was to create a 200 meter skyscraper, using parametric design and algorithms born from an extense research to create a new typology and building concept that could become an emblem to the city.
In the search for new space properties and self-filling struc-tures that would automaticly create an appealing and new way of building and spaces but at the same time respond to their changing environment, the space-filling tensile struc-tures like bubbles became highly interesting.
Bubbles/Foam Characteristics:
Bubbles tend to form under a variety of circumstances which state the way in which they grow and behave accord-ing mainly to the pressure they are submited to. This pres-sure can be caused by heat, air, humidity, noise, etc.

Placing the context’s existing buildings as ‘‘heat’’ (light bulbs), an experiment was made on how bubbles would behave in the site’s conditions reacting to what was already there and what will later on be built.

FOOTPRINT + HEIGHT
After recreating this experiment six times, a deeper understand-ing of the way bubbles react to pressure was achieved, con-cluding that the bigger bubbles poped first whith the pressure (heat), leaving the smaller ones last. Simultanuously bubbles tend to move away from the heat.
A time frame was chosen from the 4th experiment based on the footprint it created to become the starting point for EÖTVÖS skyscraper. From this footprint, the centroids of the bigger (therefore most resistent) bubbles where used as the vertical growth path, that at the same time would have the same behav-ior shown on the experiment: if it recieved more heat, the growth would be less than the ones that recieved less heat.
Experiment #4 Frame 8:10 min.

WEAIRE - PHELAN
Bubbles will always be spherical when stable and when not touch-ing a surface, but when they join with two or more others, they start deforming, connected at 120º angles, forming a series of “y” shapes.
There are many diferent ways to recreate space-filling structures like bubbles, one of them is the Weaire-Phelan.
The Weaire-Phelan system proposes a more efficient and defined way to recreate these kind of structures through two specific poly-hedrons: dodecahedron and tetrakaidecahedron. These geom-etries have the least possible surface working together than any other ones.

SIZE = PROGRAM
Once applying the Weaire-Phelan tessella-tion to the height path, a temperature/altitude chart was used to de-termine the size of each polyhedron and there-fore its program.

COLOR
White light is made up of different colors, corresponding to specific wavelengths. The colors of a bubble are dependent on the thickness of the film. A bubble becomes thinner and thinner as it dries out (due to evaporation), before finally pop-ping. As the surface film of the bubble becomes increasingly thinner, a change in overall color can be seen.
Another characteristic of the bubbles is their color, which can change depending on how thick their film is, the thicker it is the more colorful.

ADDITIONAL
Bubbles tend to react to objects that are foreign to their principles and characteristics. If the object has the same properties as the bubbles, these attach to it; if not, it rejects it, or in other words, burst.
The skyscraper counts with a central element that pro-vides it with circulations and commune spaces, from which the bubbles attach, following the principle of bubbles and foreign objects.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
The skyscraper’s structural system consists on the vertices of all the polyhedrons that conform the building. Depending on the program, polyhedrons are divided in two levels, creating floor plans and mezzanines.
