WFCity: Land

Urban and housing strategies

by Jakob Johannes Dostert, Studio Architecture III, UMPRUM 2020/2021

Project series WFCity explore the possibilities of discrete assembly via Monoceros. The studio assignment was conducted on various urban/housing scenarios - LAND, COAST and WATER as a reference to an imminent danger of rising seawater levels.

The land scenario of the WFCity explores the possibility to cover as much as possible of a given landscape. It is achieved to cover more of the terrain over time by adding more modules and rules with every evolutionary step. Connected terraces can be used for gardening, streets connect the land to the water, where the land scenario unifies with the coast.

Two terrain models: smooth landscape with water, and the same terrain discretized into modular terraced steps
