Nuove 'immeuble villas' in edifici alti per le comunità urbane in Cina
The contribution concerns the activity of experimental design research, developed for the agency Elab of Shanghai, aiming to define new residential typological and morphological models for highrise collective residential buildings, which is a frequent building type in the rising Chinese cities. The research has been oriented to define new elements able to confer a new quality to contemporary habitat for a new generation of young Chinese communities, that are rapidly entering the contemporary urban life with global needs and desires starting from a glorious forgotten tradition.
