1 The following key concepts, taking off from a conventional habitat, form the core of our design, along with justifying the manifestation of the adjective – vertical. 1.1 Multiplication of Urban Space: The vertical habitat is conceived, not as a sub-division of the Urban Floor with stacked plans of identical units, but instead as an extension of, or multiplication of the Urban Floor along its normal. This reifies the conventional ideology of a ‘core + lobby + unit + facade’ typology and incites us to design for ‘built areas’ and ‘open spaces’ within a vertically rising structure. 1.1.1 Built Areas: The elementary unit constitutes of a lot, instead of a built up fixed layout apartment, where depending upon the ownership, an individual, a cooperative or a developer can construct houses/offices/shops/institutes as per the regulatory zoning planned.

We are super excited about receiving the next magazine in the a+t strategy series. The series as a whole “analyzes the strategies undertaken in the projects of urban landscaping in order to achieve the set objectives.” This issue specifically deals with Tactical Urbanism. The topic takes on how to address the conflict and fog created in many of the occupy protests, making the issue relevant to the larger discussion taking place among society all over the world. Many of the ideas trend toward an open-ended approach of what Rem Koolhaas might have called, “specific indeterminacy.”

Power is limited (walking on a solid support such an urban sidewalk develops 5W work); nevertheless, this innovation does not aim to be a production unit for multiple use, but a potential source for local use. In the pure philosophy of the global sustainable development, this innovation helps fulfilment of the adage that characterizes energy and its rational use in our cities of tomorrow: "I produce what I consume where I am". This means production is limited to what is necessary here and now, and coupled to a local use, avoiding electromagnetic on line wasting as well as storage misuse and the costs of civil engineering. For producer slabs, the energy expenditure reduction could rise up to 100% at the very core of central urban spaces (e.g.: centre of Toulouse). In the case of new urban development, economic costs of civil engineering and other infrastructure become unnecessary by means of electrical wiring.

Le Courrier de l'Architecte | Le projet de tour de Nicolas Laisné Architecte arrive en 5e position sur 400 participants
Au regard des tours construites ou celles à venir, nous nous apercevons que les axes de recherche s’orientent différemment et se diversifient. Les gratte-ciel à New York et à Chicago au XXe siècle sont créés pour marquer la puissance d’un homme ou d’une firme, et non pas pour signaler un événement ou un lieu urbain. Même si les éléments les plus singuliers constituent certainement des repères dans la ville, la prolifération des gratte-ciel ne rend pas la ville plus lisible. Pourtant, en ce début de XXIème siècle, bien que des idées nouvelles apparaissent, l’immeuble haut n’est encore pas toujours employé de manière pertinente, ni bien traité dans ses rapports avec la ville. Dans le cadre de mon projet ces constats me conduisent aujourd’hui à réfléchir sur l’intérêt de concevoir une tour qui optimiserait au mieux l’espace urbain verticalement, mais aussi s’intégrerait dans son environnement.

Contemporary Habitable Bridge in Italy - eVolo | Architecture Magazine
This contemporary habitable bridge in Italy was designed by architects Philippe Rizzotti , Vermet Tanguy , Manal Rachdi , and Samuel Nageotte. The project received the first prize of the Solar Park South International Competition. The bridges allow a limited impact on the landscape. The local culture of Bergamotte, Italy demonstrates the region’s perfectly tempered weather (8°-30°C), and the volcanic area reveals a high energy potential.Eco-Pods Produce Bio-Fuel Energy - eVolo | Architecture Magazine
We have seen the financial outcome of the Real Estate crash in 2008. What sometimes we overlook are the urban voids left by unfinished buildings. That is the case of the Filene’s development in downtown Boston which construction was halted in November 2008. Höweler + Yoon Architecture and Squared Design Lab think this as an opportunity to explore new ways of producing architecture. They have designed a prefabricated ‘Eco-Pod’ that proposes to stimulate the economy and the ecology of downtown Boston. “The pods serve as bio-fuel sources and as micro-incubators for research”.The Taiwan Tower is a proposal by Vienna-based architect Steven Ma in Collaboration with San Liu , Xinyu Wan , and Emre Icdem . This highly innovative project consists of a set of super slim twin towers that reach a height of 350 meters where an observatory and sky-park is located. The plinth of the towers is formed by an intricate set of museums that will exhibit Taiwan’s past, present, and future. Each of the three museums configures itself around recreational areas that include a water plaza, an outdoor theatre, a green house, and an event plaza.

Single-car drivers commuting in fossil-fuel burning cars, smog , pollution, crime -- what other ur ban scourges can you think of? Half of the world's population currently live s in urban areas; yet these urban areas make up only 2 percent of the world's land and spend three-quarters of the world's resources [source: MIT ]. That's a lot of people in a very small space consuming a great deal. Between now and the year 2050, urban growth will only continue to rise: 89 million homes and 190 billion square feet (about 17.5 billion square meters) of retail and other nonresidential space will be built in the United States alone [source: National Resources Defense Council ].
