(mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Materialisation Programme Vertical cities Asia | TALL studio Date 2012-01-27 Abstract In an age of ever increasing urbanization with massive migrations from the countryside to the city, Asia is at a cross roads. 'The Wall' is a masterplan for the city Chengdu in the West of China. It is based on public transport. It is an urban strategy which densifies the existing city edge, thereby re-establishing the contrast between city and countryside. This leaves open spaces to act as green lungs for the city. To prove the masterplan one building in the masterplan is developed as an case-study. This building; 'The Eroded Block' is a mixed-use building with focus on public space. It is an extrusion of a triangle plot with big openings eroded in the volume.
