Idea projektu

The design project is a high-rise apartment building that is located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, close to the center of Mexico. The project's goal is to address all of the local residents' problems while designing the high-rise building, The study covers what the society has and what lacks there in the process of finding concepts, so that people in the area have strong social ties and share everything, and the society lack communal spaces. And green or vegetation, So the audacious idea of sharing everything is even more daring because it is a quality found only in Ethiopia and is already a part of their daily lives. The problems are solved in the design of the high rise by providing a communal space bordered by green space on each floor. Because every floor will have a linking root from the first to the last, there will be vertical villages that take up less space while still meeting everyone's needs and providing all of the amenities required.
When it comes to the rotating green features, it relates to two things. The first one is that the open space with green will support the concept of social interaction, which holds that when people first move into a place, the design of the homes causes them to interact with one another on a social as well as a financial level. This is the representation of the real neighborhood in a vertical village since the green rotation will connect neighbors floor by floor. For instance, a resident on the 10th story might converse with a neighbor on the 5th floor.

As stated in the introduction, there are restrictions on the building's location in Mexico. For example, another high-rise building blocks the wind's direction, So the idea of using trees to direct the little wind toward the building's top floor while circulating and ventilating the rooms is better and more sustainable. Additionally, since the wind on the top floor is unhealthy and has high pressure, the trees will reduce this and allow the trees to receive good air from the lower area to guide them to the top.
This high-rise structure has a total of 35 floors, the first 6 of which are commercial and include amenities like a grocery, a traditional restaurant, a barbershop, a pool, and other faculties that are designed with the residents and the local community society in mind.
The upper apartment portion has 29 stories of exclusively residential apartments, with 6 to 7 families totaling up to 200 households on each floor.
The box patterns in the structure are inspired by their horizontal living style, which changed to a vertical design to accommodate the space.
The views of the two sides were blocked by high-rise buildings, so the problem was solved by only guiding the view to selected angles and directing the box, which serves as a representation of their adaptation to interrelated living styles.
