+ 01 [Transposed] Urban High-Rise Hybrid Cluster AA ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Design Research Lab AADRL Patrik SCHUMACHER studio 2016-2017 London_UK 2017 The rapid global rise of urban development and urban population has inevitably led to higher demands for environmental, economical, social and sustainable planning for urban density. Density morphs the city center as a restless and mixed ecosystem, articulated by complexity and complex correlations that over time evolve marginally through the process of organization and articulation of elements and cycles: what we experience in nature as a single, effortlessly integrated system. As the urban surface shrinks in high density, the High-Rise typology is developed for the minimum urban footprint, seeking the maximum area in height. The skyscraper becomes the answer to urban density in the dense city centers, simultaneously extending and simulating urbanity in a programmatic hybrid, but enclosed as a single object. Currently, the highdensity city is developed as the sum of these structural independent towers that no longer host the public function.

The urgency in the high-density city is still to set up strong objects, able to exert a strong centripetal force, not as a dead epicentre but as a stimulator and catalyst in their urban surroundings. For the skyscraper as a strategy for new typologies and topologies, the public dimension has to be extended in parallel with height. This thesis proposes the redefinition of the high-rise building in the city. From an isolated object, foreign to urban dynamics, to the replacement of a new architectural [Multi Specie] topology and typology, grounded in assemblage and articulation principles in a single interrelated system: a Skyscraper-Clustered Structure.

DIGITAL EXPERIMENTS MILIPEDE- GENERATIVE SOFTWARE The initial condition is defined by a 2D rectangular container, a lateral load work as a force attractor and an internal boundary represented as a circular void. The geometry of the void affects the outside boundary and determines the generated structure. It simultaneously emulates what can be a floor-plate structure.

When the number of iterations and resolution changes, the quality of detail increases along with the number of branches. These elements are mainly working in traction, expanding the slab and then attracting it to the support element on the right side. The outcomes travel through the optimised path to reach it.

[MasterPlan] The
aim of the project was to redevelop an

which had once been a railway station but had become abandoned and inaccessible. the old buildings that still remained, the railway turntable and the locomotive yard, were converted into an exhibition centre, and the railway lines into a
Urban Park along the coast.
[Original Situation] The actual border is not linked to the city and constrains the access to the coast as an impassable limit
