Orgie
Orgie is a reaction on the densification of cities worldwide. The
design introduces the Hyper Active Urbanite as the forgotten
target group of our current and future city centres. The HAU is young,
single, ambitious and prefers city centres for a working and living
environment. The design is part of our social structures study and won
1st prize in FAR_8 competition in Shanghai.
Our scheme proposes a large number of small housing units (12m2
with only bed, closet, shower and toilet) together with a large
number of urban facilities in a wide variety. That will function as a
new living environment and the ultimate urban lifestyle.
