Brenac+Gonzalez designed a kind of urban village in a vertical way. It’s like a big skyscraper with lots of green elements.
As a village, the high-rise is organized and structured around common areas such as meeting places and places of exchange. It includes characteristics of individual housing, offering to its inhabitants large living areas with more than 3 meters high ceilings and customizable spaces through use of mobile partitions
I truly believe that these kind of buildings featured by a lot of green elements are the evolution of the skyscrapers we know so far. Looking forward to see the first ones of that kind to get build and financed by some smart investors and planners.
