Growing Limits to Growth
Growing Limits to Growth
An optimized beam column structure would center the closed, i.e. heated area, which is connected to stairs and elevators, offering a ceiling height of 6 meters, allowing for a customized generous second floor.
The slabs between floors would be based on trusses, with maximum span widths and exterior cantilevers. The important height of these slabs guarantees maximum flexibility for the interior plan layout, and on the outside cantilevers, for the integration of soil and plants.
Moreover, this dwelling lifestyle would enable a new reading of- and a new clarity to the landscape, by introducing axes, visual limits and referenced landmarks to an otherwise dull horizon. An enlightened way of laying out the buildings would simplify traffic and connectivity as much as collective infrastructures.
Gone the days when endless housing estates spread like grey goo over the fields, as in this case, the residential buildings would serve in framing and drawing a new, shared, landscape.
