Urban Overlap

This project explores an alternative vertical urban extension to an existing old conserved residential district due for Urban Restoration. The conservation of Old Bell Tower District results in overcrowding, degeneration and poor living conditions. Building up on existing fabric creates social spaces, greenery and commercial vitality. The functional distribution of the residential district requires a mixture of conservation and new insertions to revitalize and improve living conditions. New Pedestrian roads are given by sky bridges, together with landscaping, public spaces, and new commercial nodes. New residential typologies arises in respond to the new urban interface.
