Abstract

The goal of urbanism as a model is not to test the limits of density or push the boundaries of how socially removed or engaged an individual can be, but to bring order to the growing, malleable, and complex interactions of human life.

This model is a hypothesis on different urban connections. A reworking of the framework, which allows for intersecting and layering elements to become the backdrop to the everyday drama of life.

And while modern cities epitomize the collection of autonomous structures, this thesis seeks to expand on that notion through overlapping and folding that model back on itself, creating a means for new dynamics and exchanges.
