Continuing the discussion of previous post - If general public's preference of city does not reduce and city is running out of space for them, building a high rise may be unavoidable. If that is the case then searching for a solution within the given situation may produce new idea and image of sustainability. I found this great project in Japan designed by Ryue Nishizawa, architect of SANAA, introducing new living environment in urban setting. Extending the idea of green roof, this project has turned whole building as garden.Instead of true facade, curtain walls and terrace with green plants separates the room and amenities. Lower ground has more public space and as the level goes up private zone appears. Roof terrace includes guest room and terrace to afford city view from higher level. It almost seem like a gigantic plant pot standing in between two tall residential buildings. Imagine a city full of this types of apartment, a residential block that can breathe by itself creating comfortable environment not only for dwellers but also to the neighbors.
