Due to the COVID19 pandemic, our goal has been to provide the prototype with as much fresh air as possible: 
The prototype stems from a response to the surrounding air conditions of a prototypical metropolitan building, where fresh air can be viewed as a commodity. A hierarchy of chambers operate collectively to accumulate, distribute and supply fresh air to the prototype, uniquely in complete isolation of any contaminates until it reaches the intended destination. Chambers are designed to manipulate natural airflow, the air is compelled to adjust its velocity, volume and temperature between the system's intake and exhaust. As the most controversial component within the contemporary midrise, circulation has been reconsidered; adapted semi-enclosed paternoster systems deliver individual users up to heavily cross-ventilated chambers, where they can disperse and move onward to their destination. Subsequently, a network of pathways, openly exposed, weave around the perimeter; offering connectivity to chambers.
