Rooftops represent underutilized urban real estate that designers are reimagining as functional and social spaces. From gardens and pavilions to public gathering areas, rooftop projects extend the usable footprint of cities vertically.

The community explores rooftop interventions including green infrastructure, social gathering spaces, adaptive reuse of industrial sites, and architectural insertions that integrate nature, community amenities, and sustainable materials into elevated environments.

SPROUT FROM SPRAWL

Sprawl the Programs, Sprout of Communication. In a market that emphasizes only fragmentary purchases, people simply comfortably and impulsively consumed agricultural products. So we look forward to bringing together each field of agriculture scattered sporadically through our design like a sprout, just like the title of the contest, "Sprout from Sprawl."

UpLift

The title of our rooftop project is UpLift, a word play with a nod at both the high elevation and a need for positive experiences in a world of negativity. We would like for this space to become an oasis for anyone in the community to come up to the rooftop, take a walk, chat with a friend, and breathe a little easier.

Floating Roofs: An Urban Insert

The structure has derived its form by biomimicking a tree tunnel.

THE FRAGRANT GARDEN

Taking inspiration from the space envelope, the house is series of solid horizontal planes and a central void, the courtyard - tied together by vertical elements: the stair, the slide and the tree. The long layout is divided into 3 parts: the front of the form which receives light, breeze, visitors, and sleeping quarters; the central courtyard.
