Skyscraper Suburb

The concept, experience, and form of suburbia have changed markedly in response to pandemics and population growth. The various lengths and intensities of lockdown during pandemics have exposed the deficiencies of contemporary suburban life and given us reason to rethink the suburb again.

Compared to current models of suburban development, the project is thinking about the typology as almost like a vertical residential block coming to the suburb as a model for the post pandemic. Rendering architecture as a natural “pattern of everyday life”. By exploring design strategies that generate architectural outcomes from collage, the project reframes the analysis of modern Australian suburbia.
