Rethinking Height
SCI-Arc Fall 2020 Vertical Design Studio

Faculty: Elena Manferdini
AT: Kumaran Parthiban

The studio is researching the typology of the high-rise in the age of the Coronavirus, when tall building developments are rapidly dropping in value. The class has been confronted with the task of reconciling various powerful and opposite forces: on one end the need of high density buildings in fast pace growing cities, and on the other end the well-known impoverishment of the public realm that exist in the streets separating the plinths of the towers, now joint by the new risk of virus transmission in high-rise construction. Contrary to the never ending global race to build the tallest skyscraper in the world, the studio argues that high-rise typology needs to drop.
