Studio takes shape...

The first stirrings of a concrete strategy for my mixed use housing project. Vertical elements (programmed as community activators) elevate tubes of residential apartments creating sidewalks in the sky that can actually be practical in promoting community development.  The sense of community is further enhanced through interconnectivities orchestrated using porosity as a tool of social cohesion.  This can be seen in the general dematerialisation of the building mass, allowing the free flow of the elements, light, people and ideas around the site as a whole.
