Future City
Speculative urban design exploring how cities might evolve through modular systems, adaptive housing, and emerging technologies.

Smart City: An Autonomous Urban Cell That Quarantines a Neighborhood, Not an Apartment

ROTATING SHIFTING SKYSCRAPER
A modern organic shape with rotating floors that provides hierarchy in needs and sustainability in one single tower. Before designing my project i searched about the life in 2050 , which will need a lot of energy and electricity due the use of technology and the existence of robots.. I used natural methods to generate power (solar and wind powers...)

Interesting approach to the mixed-use definition. Good study of the modules and their variety/flexibility. We have appreciated the consideration of the 'facility strategies', gives a realistic approach. I would only add that maybe the height could be reconsidered.
The “compact space” is projected as a conflict between open and enclose space. It gives architecture a dimension of depth that is not exhausted on the spatial scale, but works jointly with the open space to manifest its void as a possibility. It is a probability and it is shown as a dominion of the region of possibility. It transcends the "being object" of architecture at the moment or stage of its apprehension by our awareness.
(pr)OpenCity
‘(pr)OpenCity’ advocates a collaborative design method for future development: one that allows rapid application with its prototypical nature and an inclusive approach with mediation between the ‘user’ and the ‘urban’. Building upon the concepts of ‘open-sourcing’ in design, this experiment establishes a user-centric design approach to built interiors of fut
