Overview

How can design create new social and sustainable structures in the context of a metropolis?

How can housing units and space within a building be organised to diversify and mix demographics, creating a more homogeneous society within an urban environment?

Concept

Should the city of the future take a more systemic approach to sharing and distributing resources within its structures?

The metropolis could become its own organism. The focus of the project is on the individual housing unit and a diverse and open communication and interaction.

Form Finding

The form of the floor plans was generated through lighting simulations. To share solar energy, the facade windows can tilt to spread light throughout the city. The inside of the housing units contains green spaces for vertical farming and crosscultural exchange.

The shape of the floor plans changes throughout the height, providing varying sizes for the inhabitants based on their needs.

↘ Varying floor plan structures

↘ Possible connecting platforms for transit throughout the city
