East Vine Green City Phase I
- Francesco Rizzi & Benjamin Hoffman
This project involves the arrangement and design of buildings, public spaces, transport systems, services, and amenities. Our process was to give form, shape, and character to groups of buildings in the new neighborhood of East Vine Street, an area marred by parking lots and industrial sites. As Architects it is our responsibility to design smart and healthy cities that combat issues that are present across this site, such as heat island effect and storm-water management.
In a development of this scale it is impossible to control the design of every building. By using generative software and the implementation of strict parameters we can create a “menu” that designers can follow so each building has a hint of the same characteristics allowing for a more cohesive development.
