Vertical streets represent a design approach that maximizes density and community function within constrained urban environments. This includes strategies for stacking residential and commercial uses, reclaiming overlooked spaces beneath infrastructure, and creating multi-layered public areas that serve diverse populations.

The community explores adaptive reuse of bridge underpasses and rail infrastructure, food markets that anchor cultural identity, residential towers integrated into street-level neighborhoods, and interventions that transform voids into gathering spaces. Projects demonstrate how vertical thinking can support neighborhood resilience and growth.

Recovering Through Incision

The Project is in the north portion of the Bela Vista neighborhood (S?o Paulo, Brazil) and acts both in the urban and architectural scale. Treating its symptoms through a few strategic interventions, it aims to recover this degraded "urban organism" entirely, hence the name Recovering Through Incision. The viaduct crossings are a key aspect of this strategy.

A 'Neo' Delhi modulates these entropies, it thrives by fusing its history into its future, ensuring a sustainable and organically morphing identity.
