Team point of view
The first element in the definition of the project is to calculate the building density, drawing on the analysis of the surrounding neighbourhoods.
The urban project for this case study was chosen on the initial assumption that the contemporary approach to living in the city should be more human-centred. The project for Marly’s town’ is therefore not confined to a single function and just one kind of building (mono-large); instead, it involves buildings of different heights and kinds (multi-mix), creating an average building density in keeping with the project area.
Single unit dimensions can vary according to the site chosen and can be adapted to other similar sites, without losing the human aspect and its multifunctional value, essential to the development of a new way of living.
