Vertical villages for European Snowbirds

The Solar Park South International design competition awarded French firms OFF architecture,PR Architect & Samuel Nageotte for their entry called Verical Villages in Calabria, Italy. The competition played with the theme of a ‘Solar Highway’, re-using sections of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway soon to be decommissioned by the Italian Highways Authority.
 
The inspired form for the “Vertical Village” arose out of the viaducts morphology, particularly the piles of the struction. The deck therefore becomes the reinforcement of these residential areas through commercial spaces, equipment, medical centres and leisure spaces.


A conceptual project in my hometown where is called city of hills

Magic mountains

The urban concept for the GCBD reinstates the mountainous feeling deep into the very dense and urbanized areas of Chongqing. The new skyline consists of a composition of inhabited mountains. The mountain peaks match the high-density centres; the lower reaches of the mountains resemble areas built with low density, whereas the valleys are green open spaces.
