(mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Materialisation Programme TALL VCA 2011 Date 2012-04-20 Abstract The NUS and the Future Foundation organized a competition between 10 universities worldwide to develop ideas and theories in urban growth and architectural form related to density, liveability and sustainability specific to the rapid and exponential growth of urbanism in Asia. We can either use the existing urban architectural models to accommodate increased populations with devastating effects on land, infrastructure, and the environment or create new models of urban architecture. The competition was to house 100.000 people on one square kilometre, where people will be living and working. The skyscraper is a necessary response to urban sprawl, because there is minimal land use and the amount of usable space per abailable land area is maximised. But make Life vertical not just the buildings! In a conventional high rise city you go up the tower and if you want to go to another tower you must go down again. So a new model is created with a continuous routing instead of the dead ends.
