Vertical Village

The project aims to redevelop a part of Vijayanagar neigh bourhood. Instead of approaching it through a solely functional approach, the design focuses on the human aspect, the socio-cultural patterns, interactions and connections that create a sense of community in a neighbourhood. 
The project does this by imagining a vertical street running through the building. By creating zones of activity on alternate floors, the residents move not just from the floor of their house to the ground floor, but within the different floors of the building as well. With increased movement, opportunities for interaction also increase. 
 Similarly, common spaces of interaction have been created at other scales as well, at both the cluster and master plan level. This creates more opportunities to foster connections between residents of different towers within the neighbourhood
