Unbuilt Architectures



The first unbuilt architecture i choose is known as "Well City", i found this particular building from the Evolo housing competition 2007. (Evolo is also a new york based magazine)

The designers were inspired by s. patrizio's sink, which was characterised by a flight of steps, that turns into a central space that contains water, and that has many openings, where is possible to observe a central space.

It is based on a semi-hipogen space; a visible level that contains a living room, a kitchen with spaces.

Another level contains a swimming pool, with different platforms. In the courtyard we can observe a series of volumes that contain aquarius.

What appealed to me about this particular architecture was the exterior, which i believe can be easily adapted to any environment and also the fact that it is underground.Its architecture is very simple and has modernist undertones through it.

I believe building this particular building will be a challenge as it is underground and has water in the central areas of the building.
