Overhead building explores architectural strategies where new structures are positioned above, within, or integrated into existing buildings. This approach addresses spatial constraints, adaptive reuse, and vertical densification in urban environments.The community examines projects that stack offices and residences on rooftops, insert contemporary interventions into historic warehouses, suspend structures in mid-air, and wrap towers with layered systems. Work ranges from postindustrial conversions and memorial structures to green-terraced office buildings and naturally ventilated stacked housing.
