VERTICALIVING

Hi,

this is my first sketch based on high rise vertical living and thinking about what the world will become after the ice melting…cities surrounded by oceans !

My starting point was the Paris underground, a place that moves milions of people everyday..evaluating the idea of creating vertical open-air underground…! The underground plan will be the tower’s main structure.

I will try to create a big vertical city made of green flying squares…don’t know where it will take me. :)

Hello Kukas. Good begining. I would like show you this link where you can find information about one real project about vertical city: the bionic tower: http://www.torrebionica.com/bvs-english/bvs-english.htm

There, several considerations about living in a vertical city are very well explained. It will take some time, but it´s very interesting. Perhaps, after view that information, you consider the posibility of growing the scale of your project (it´s just an idea), making it 5 or 50 times bigger.

Hi Ronen,
I appreciate so much your words !!
Actually I m working on sketch paper to rethink about
the skyscraper's structure..I have to make everything work to
let the "Underground" pass through.
..just a pencil and a lot of paper..updates in progress..

hi Andrius,

in my mind there is this image..

a SkyscraperCity..you can move from building to another (or from a part of the city to another)

with trains that goes up to the sky..like elevators that cross the city and make turns on the buildings.

Paris underground was the first step for my sketch..but after a bit it becomes a reality

.."I ve seen" vertical trains that surround the skyscrapers..than I realized a 360° city! :D

I m not sure of what my mind will let me know tomorrow ... :)

update after update people are coming up more and more interesting ideas :D

I'm not sure I get the idea though, its and under ground in the air?(assuming vertical means that its going to be in going in the air)

can't wait to see some progress on this one
