Revised Version

Speaking the past, the present and the future in concentrated  eco-friendly structure

Apartments in Paris [Sydney], like many cosmopolitan cities around the world, are very expensive. In an effort to minimize urban sprawl and preserve what natural spaces were left, the result comes together almost as if it were a game of architectural tetris, with units of different shapes and sizes built next to, and on top of, one another.

This architecture will speak of the past, the present and the future.
Of the past, since the scale and wood building techniques have spanned the centuries. Of the present, since we’ve consciously chosen to respect the scale and style of the dated – almost anachronistic – bricks and tiles of Cidade Matarazzo Hospital. And lastly, of the future, since it will flag the fact that living at height does not mean abandoning local materials, variations, or landscapes that have gently and knowingly accompanied the lives of many generations

This tower [building] will show how medium- to high-rise apartment buildings [area] can be instrumental in recapturing an art of living that’s capable of progressively defining Sao Paulo [UNSW].  From smaller studio units for younger or less affluent patrons, to two-bedroom or larger [lecture hall] for [lessons] growing families, to mansion-style apartments [office] for wealthy buyers [researchers] , the design was created, in part, to represent the various ways that Parisians UNSW are living today.`

Privacy will be protected through the use of open-work partitions, trees and bushes, and the fluctuating shadows created by orthogonal wooden geometries interlacing with sinuous branches and rustling leaves. The structure itself would be made of recycled building materials, and each level would feature composting toilets and natural water cleansing systems.
