Urban Engitecture — dossier
“Before it becomes a reality, it is a project; before, a thought; before, an idea; before, a possibility.”
This 10-page dossier introduces urban engitecture — engineering + urban planning + architecture — diffjustdiff’s proposal for another type of city. It opens with big questions and short answers about our urban environments: pollution, efficiency, living conditions, structural stability, security, transportation and mobility, emergency escape options, free ground-level public space, light, ventilation and views, and community feeling.
From there it sets out the starting points: drastically reducing pollution while improving living standards, guaranteeing structural stability at considerable heights, moving people at different levels, offering several escape routes in an emergency, and freeing the ground for public use.
