different ways to connect private dwelling units
The Extended Dwellings responds to the failure of the towers-in-the-park typology by calibrating the intricate balance between collectiveness and individuality. Three tiers of public spaces are implemented, fostering a stronger sense of community:
1. the multiplication of the ground plane linking the residential towers as macro-shared space;
2. the insertion of public programs in-between the vertical blocks as meso-shared space;
3. the decentralization of core elements which enables more intimate micro-shared space.
