This project was informed by the study of Constant's New Babylon theory, investigating how an urban complex designed under the guidance of this theory could transform and impact the surrounding city and its users. The design process followed a top-down approach, starting from the city scale and progressing to the architectural components.
In this project, the metaphorical urban axes serve as the "lines" that stitch together these scenario-based spaces. By designing such scenario-based spaces of varying scales along these distinct urban axes, a narrative-driven urban section was achieved. This approach aimed to influence the surrounding city while also allowing users to experience the uncertainty and anticipation embedded in the contextual story, ultimately manifesting an urban complex with the qualities of Constant's New Babylon.
