The studio will inquire strategies of “vertical urbanism” through the design research of high-rise building by integrating structural characteristics and behavior with evolutionary material systems. Models of exploration related to the geometry, shape and behavior of natural systems will support proposals of surface structures with stiffness and flexibility. The design process will implement topological modeling techniques to populate forms for high-rise structure and envelope with hybrid skins as versatile material aggregates.
Residential “i-space” is central to the investigation and the definition of mixed programs for vertical structures and explored as an innovative hybrid with private to public and work atmospheres. The project’ effects of program mix, design culture and customized fabrication, play on the recent development concept of lifestyle environments. Implemented into a contemporary large, public urban development zone in New York, the project’ effects of hyper density, scale and experimental mixed use maximize the function as urban interface into a strategic point of energy to Re-urbanize the city.
