These two projects try to create a new form of architect design and urban planning to response the problems of territorial space, superpopulation and the horizontal growth of the cities which has too many problems of economic, evarioment and political sustainability. media type="file" key="Q1.mp3" width="240" height="20" Both projects propose a compact design, characterized by the importance of the vertical spatial and space. It is a compact design because combines in less land area too many activities, creating different levels connected by a path of vertical circulation. media type="file" key="Q2.mp3" width="240" height="20" The difference between these two projects appears in the structural character and spatial composition. For example the Steven Holl´s projects describe a more pleasant space for the development of life, generating a lower stiffness and contrast between the levels of the vertical project; the spatial composition combines all the characters of the outdoors and urban ambient, connecting by a vertical conjunction of platforms. Instead the bionic towers is a project very futurist and linear too, the vertical component is more rigorous than the Steven`s projects and all the connections happen just on a vertical way. This project forgets the relationship and interaction of the city with the nature ambient. media type="file" key="Q3.mp3" width="240" height="20"

Ancient projects: Gardens of Babylon. Today: Mushrooms gardens (Korea). Chandirgarh city (India). Ants cities. Masdar city (Abu Dhabi)
 * 1) === Are there actual examples of these projects? If so, mention them. (1 pt.) ===

media type="file" key="Q4.mp3" width="240" height="20" Little city is an important project because relates the horizontal and vertical connections, generating a path of circulation very easy and pleasant. Because the relationship between the parts and the space and between the circulations patterns itself, give us the impression that the whole city is at the same level. media type="file" key="Q5.mp3" width="240" height="20" In our days the conception of city and the perception of this have change radically, because all the environmental problems of the world, economics and socials are based in the system and form of create cities. The horizontal growth of the city it’s no longer sustainable, because demands too many space of land and the complexity of the urban system tends to fail. That´s the important of projects like little cities or bionic towers, because it is a bet to a more compact, vertical and sustainable city. media type="file" key="Q6.mp3"
