Interweaving Green into Concrete Jungle

Youth Housing

The goal of youth housing is to provide highquality, affordable public and private rental housing in station areas where there is a high demand for housing by young people, thereby promoting the revitalization of the local economy and resolving the housing shortage of young people.

The Dividing Highway

The site is located right next to the highway that divides this area into a bed town with green spaces in the west and a commercial area in the east. Furthermore, wide road in the East side is isolating the site

Typical Youth Housing

Interweaving Green

Interweaved

The commercial facilites and the green spaces are mixed creating a energetic space becoming a comfort space for the youths and the locals

The highway blocks the connection between the bed town and the site despite the high demand of openness between the site due to the shopping mall and green facilities on the West. The passage under highway exists but it is narrow and unpleasant. By making green highway over existing highway and interweaving it to the main crossroad where main commercial districts are located, a new center of the city that embraces both commercial and green spaces, is created under the youth housing.
