Project Summary
Over the past 15 years, most residential construction has targeted the highend high-rise luxury market. The project, Low and dense urban elements, argues against this trend. Instead, it favors a more reciprocal infill strategy of preserving urban heritage and re-introducing lowrise high-density areas – this respects cultural heritage and keeps the social fabric alive.
