SuperCube Towers – Phillip C. Reiner, 2017

The SuperCube Towers study explores vertical stacking configurations using SuperCube ring formations. These ring structures, which developed during the SuperCube system development, can interlock without requiring the central cluster, creating self-contained circular elements suitable for vertical extension. The research investigates how these rings stack to create tower configurations through radial periodic arrangements. Each ring maintains rotational symmetry while enabling vertical growth. The study examines attachment methods between stacked rings and how vertical extension affects structural stability. The investigation tests various stacking patterns and their geometric properties. Ring-based towers demonstrate how a single modular element adapts to vertical architectural forms while preserving the SuperCube's interlocking logic. The research establishes principles for translating the horizontal ring geometry into vertical spatial organization.
