A New Perspective on Urban Architecture: Streets Above Ground for Better Adaptation With Nature

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The theme of this research is to change urban architecture to reduce the use of natural resources, especially land, and to remove obstacles in the form of roads that cut the natural fabric into unconnected cells.By creating more self-sufficient cities that produce on vertical farms within the city itself, urbanrural movements can be reduced.This will reduce the need for roads and cars and lead to less arable land that can be returned to nature.A circulating ecozone will reduce movements between towns.Finally, by replacing some of the horizontal movements in the city with vertical movements within the multifunctional towers (modules), the remaining horizontal movements between modules can be raised above the ground through bridges connecting them or replaced by aerial movements.In this way the earth, except for the foundations of the modules, is freed for nature and man and has no more obstacles for the movement of nature in the form of roads.
