Overview

Focused on enhancing urban living, this academic thesis project explores architectural strategies that foster community engagement and well-being within high-rise ecosystems. The design integrates global best practices and real-world precedents to propose a vertical living model that prioritizes social interaction, mental health, and environmental sustainability—offering a guide for architects and developers aiming to build more humane and livable skyscrapers.

This project explores how high-rise architecture can enhance urban living through three key areas: Vertical Greens, which integrate greenery to boost air quality and well-being; Community Spaces, which promote social interaction and reduce isolation in dense environments; and Sustainability, focusing on eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems. Together, these areas aim to create healthier, more connected, and environmentally responsible high-rise ecosystems.
