Europan 7 Illion

runner-up

1. Urban framework: READING THE AVENUE. The Thivo Avenue heads atomizing the green spaces and leaving the urban plots on both sides unconnected. So the green spaces is tied to a super-ior arrangement of routes. Of voids and of places of interest.
BUILDING THE URBAN PLOT. The completion the existing plots from the interpretation of the social groupings on different scales. The city conceived as a set of districts – petals. The districts – petals as a set of blocks – rectangles. The blocks – rectangles as a hank of houses – courses. The houses – course as a sequence of stays – spaces.
2. Social framework: URBAN USERS. The event of the urban thing is organized from a space which at the same time it adjusts. CROSSED LIFES: The houses colonize the space to look for the maximum contact between houses.
FILTERS OF PRIVACY. To choose the urban relations, to safeguard the privacy and to easily change the situation.
THREE SITUATIONS, THREE COURSES, THREE CHARACTERS. Thivon Avenue: Vertical “Y” housing.  Wheeled road: “patio” housing.  Pedestrian walk: Horizontal “Y” housing.
