| dc.description.abstract | When studying the rise of Urban Lahore, we need to shift our urban language from horizontal sprawl to intentional verticality. Vertical Horizons looks at how high-rise mixed-use buildings can grow from several object-oriented towers of high profit, into being community driven contextual uplifts of vertical neighborhoods. This thesis explores the combining of residential, commercial, co-working, and community space, in a single high-rise, that supports social life, sustainability, and shared space in an everyday, post pandemic urban existence. Starting with the critiques of typologies and gleaning design opportunities that constructs an urban space for human encounters, flexible work-life, and environmental consciousness in urban case studies in Pakistan, France, and Germany. The project proposes a 16-story mixed-use tower, where smart technologies, zoning efficiencies, and share gardens create a liveable urban vertical ecosystem. Addressing local identity, passive and service design, and a public realm that is integrated. The final design is data driven as a prototype for how to create future high-rise community in South Asian cities. | |
