Best mixed use urban in-fill design for Global Awards shortlisted
NEW YORK: The shortlist for the best mixed use urban in-fill design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
The project is made to “fully explore the potential of the MiC together with the introduction of the first Suspended Modular Integrated Construction (SMiC) to work with air rights by suspending under bridges.” The construction would start by completing three main structural cores using slip-form construction before installing MiC with six programmatic modules. The dense tower is made to provide a pedestrian-friendly horizontal streetscape for the community and embrace a human scale by creating The Social Valley, a central hub that promotes diverse social opportunities with various active and passive programs.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
