Urban Infill Pattern
Urban Infill Pattern
- Site-specific cases
We propose a new pattern of urban occupation made of housing interlaced by patios with trees. A urban weave of hexagonal courtyards without recognizable facade able to adapt to all types of plot situations, since it does not depend on any neighborhood restrictions of built perimeter and orientations. With a building density of 2 m2/m2 and an average height of 12 meters, typical of any peri-urban environment. This new residential fabricoffers an open ground floor where all types of public facilities coexist with trees on each patio. Up to twenty different types of apartments are the result of the successive cross-linking of the upper and lower slabs. The structural grid spans less than 7 meters, reasonable for all types of construction in wood, concrete and Steel. Alien to the traditional urban hierarchies of public space, the proposal avoids any residential speculation at the same time that enables the occupation of any irregular plot.
