星云塔是位于圣何塞市14英亩竞技绿色公园内的一座175英尺的净零标志性地标，对本地居民和来自世界各地的游客开放。该塔的格子结构设计旨在在白天和黑夜之间形成物化和非物化的对话，创造出一个不断变化的实体和空洞之间的对话。这种设计与先进的技术集成相结合，允许使用时间和光的短暂媒介进行艺术表达。

该塔的建筑完全融入了密集编程的城市公园中，提供了反映周围自然生物群落的多样化体验。它反映了硅谷在过去一个世纪中所定义的创新、冒险精神。完整的生活建筑挑战框架指导设计，确保项目符合净零能源效率的性能目标，并且是沿河走廊的恢复性、低影响开发。

星云塔重新定义了当代地标，作为艺术表达的画布和市民参与的框架。该塔的创新格子结构同时兼具动态三维可编程光节点的特点，让艺术家能够创造沉浸式的多媒体体验。

通过公园和塔内一系列亲密的人类规模空间，鼓励市民参与。游客攀登河岸，并穿越广场、娱乐场和活动草坪，最终到达塔入口两侧的下沉式礼堂。开放式流通将游客从地面画廊、咖啡厅和零售空间带到中间的观景平台，最终到达观景平台，塔顶设有天空酒吧，游客可以欣赏圣何塞和硅谷的广阔景色。

Nebula Tower is a 175-foot net-zero iconic landmark located in the 14-acre Arena Green Park in the City of San Jose. It is open to both local residents and visitors from around the world. The tower's lattice structure is designed to materialize and dematerialize from day to night, creating an ever-changing dialogue between solid and void. This design, combined with advanced technology integration, allows for artistic expression using the ephemeral mediums of time and light.

The tower's architecture is fully integrated into the densely programmed urban park, providing a diverse set of experiences reflective of the surrounding natural biomes. It reflects the innovative, risk-embracing spirit that has defined Silicon Valley throughout the past century. The full Living Building Challenge framework guides the design, ensuring that the project matches performance targets for net-zero energy efficiency and is a restorative, low-impact development along the riparian corridor.

Nebula Tower redefines contemporary landmarks, acting as a canvas for artistic expression and a framework for civic engagement. The tower's innovative lattice structure doubles as a dynamic three-dimensional framework of programmable light nodes, allowing artists to create immersive multimedia experiences.

Civic engagement is encouraged through a collection of intimate human-scale spaces within the park and tower. Visitors ascend the riparian banks and navigate through plazas, recreation fields, and event lawns before arriving at the sunken auditoriums flanking the entry to the tower. Open circulation draws visitors up, from the ground level gallery, cafe, and retail spaces to intermediary viewing platforms, and culminates at the viewing platform with a sky bar at the tower peak, where visitors can appreciate the vast expanse of San Jose and Silicon Valley.
