Concept 3: The Vortex

A Vortex is a term most used to describe a movement due to a

central feild. In fluid dynamics, a vortex is a region in a fluid in which the

flow revolves around an axis line, which may be straight or curved. Scientists

often study vortices because they are powerful forces of nature that

defy gravity and the laws of physics.

Conceptually, a Vortex can be also explained through architecture.

It could be described as a mass that often utilises a strong central core

(main program and structure) with the other sub-programmatic elements

serving it all around. The use of spirals in architecture is a good representation

of this idea.
