Exccelent proposal. Strong and Unique concept. Very well researched and proposed solutions. Totally solved project. A real biophilic design integrated into the vertical realm
Great concept and presentation that is flexible and dynamic.

Our team reinvented the modern neighborhood serving the lifestyles of today while addressing the issue of the pandemic. We decided to study the past in order to intuitively inform future design decisions. We began with an analysis of New York City as well as our chosen site of Hudson Yards.
Every city could swap some of its concrete jungle for some natural wilderness. Hope to see these ideas in future projects!

Productive Organism: A Mumbai Thesis That Treats Peripheral Housing as a Tool for Ecological Repair
Amod Nargund's thesis for Marve, Malvani layers mangrove ecology, adaptive housing and water cycles into a habitat that works like a living organism.
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.
