Through
a parametric “packing” equation, 7 groups of cells, or “neighborhoods” are
created to form residential clusters.
Proposed streets, as well as parking and open areas for public and civic
events separate these neighborhoods.
Residential units are proposed in a series of three tower types and
connecting “bridge” buildings that are planned on the perimeter of each
neighborhood cell, creating open space at the interior of these cells for
residential use. Each cell functions as
a community and has its own community identity.
Six of the cells are programmed for residential uses, while the seventh
cell houses a satellite kindergarten and elementary school. Natural and constructed wetlands surround
these communities and form a soft transition between the built environment and
the agricultural fields that surround it.
Additional civic buildings are planned on the northern edge of the site.
