The major difference between my translation and Kurokawa's tower is the core.
Kurokawa's was 2 separate spiral towers which linked together intermittently. Mine provides access to both stair wells from every floor by joining the cores in this W-shape. A huge change i have made is that the capsules are now about 4 times as large. I used 2 aneX cubes for each capsule whereas scale wise the kurokawa capsules are half the size (2x4m) of the aneX cube (5x5m)
Kurokawa's tower was 13 floors so this translation is matching.
Here you can see the weaving of the core, the blue shows the next floor down.
Kurorawa's design made the core and circulation minimal. I don't know the ratio of core area to access/private area but that would be a useful experement to find simply for this zig-zag core what scale produces the best yeild. limits would be the 18m between each stair as a fire escape.
