Co-living with nature

This project is a low-coverage, high-density community with good condition in Lishui, China. It is expected to provide residents with a chance to co-live with nature and have a self-sufficient life, respecting the traditional Chinese life philosophy. Here, artificial intelligence tools are used to create massing agents clustered by voxels.

Then, a game-type methodology, similar to the video game called 'Sim City', is applied to build through voxels. The final mapping result displays an interlaced system: inhuman habitation (forest and landscape farming area) and human habitation (residential fabric) are blended well. As a result, the high-density building clusters are no longer obstacles on the site. Instead, they are endowed with high permeability and generosity to humans, plants and animals.
