DESIGN RATIONALE
By placing modern towers on stilts 'UBER' (over, above & beyond) unmodified pre-existing buildings (below) MM Architects are formulating a Novelty Building Type Concept
The architectural form is based on pure programming, functions, and structural requirements without unnecessary costly decorations. The clear-cut fusion of new and old is proactively tackling some of the most imminent Inner City Development challenges:
Climate Change & CO2 footprint, decline of affordable housing availability, urban sprawl, traffic congestion, increased commuter time
