Resumen: | Nowadays talking about urban development inevitably involves themes related to privately owned public spaces. In this definition can be grouped several examples, from simulacra in the "Generic City" described by Rem Koolhaas to more sophisticated urban assembles like the Sliced Porosity Block by Steven Holl Architects and the NEO Bankside by Rogers Stirk Harbour+Partners. In the last two cases, the architects' main challenge was to find the right role for their buildings into the city and, at the same time, articulate the project elements in a way that they can be significant at the smallest scale. Achieving such a goal through the use of towers, quintessential isolating typology, shows the exceptionality of these architectures. To multi-scale/system architecture and high rise typology, accessibility and micro-urbanism must be added as complementary keywords to interpret these type of works. |
