Watch Tower.
My watch tower design is based in the Arboretum, With 25m (squared) blueprint as the dimensions, I will design my watch tower based to fit inside these specific requirements but also being suitable within its surroundings.
Watch Towers Were originally used to keep protective view over small towns. This meant due to the purpose of the construction it was down mainly to the the location being the highest point, but also the clearest, having enough space to look over any near by context.

Examples.
These are some examples of timber structure architecture. When looking into different styles of Watch towers many consisted of a similar shape, being formed around the original shape of a watch tower with excess of 2-3 floors remaining narrow and keeping its open clearings to allow the best possible chance of clear view with minimum restrictions.
Rather than just looking at simple watch tower designs i wanted to explore into other high towers and what resembles them as being 'Towers'.
the Eiffel tower is a worldwide famous piece of Architecture, known for its striking hight and elegant shape of symmetry the Artistically designed structure is what resembles to me a 'tower'.

Another example following the same Eiffel tower shape is the Pyramid.
The Pyramid wouldn't normally be looked as a tower shape but with a more narrowed base it would resemble the same inspiration as the Eiffel Tower. But what the The Pyramid also offers is a larger diameter area. Spreading across the whole of its Base.
I will Later explore the shape of the Pyramid And how it could be Modified to accommodate my Watch Tower design.
