Railway Building

From the cityscape, the facade will incorporate an operable screen system to allow greater privacy and shading in the balconies. In the courtyard, the facade system is more irregular with variation of protruding balconies. Inspired by the unit aggregation and massing of Via Verde, the upper levels are terraced and the market and affordable units are scattered indistinctly. There are 360 units, with 15 unit types ranging in both affordability and size to benefit all income levels and family dynamics.

SHALL WE DO A SMALL TOUR IN THAT SECURED WORLD? DESERTIFICATION… MELTING GLACIERS… INEQUALITY…
THIS IS OBVIOUS ONE BUT THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS SAY MORE. LET'S CHECK TOGETHER..!
IN THIS CENTURY, THE WORLD WILL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE LARGEST POPULATION EXPLOSION IN HUMAN HISTORY. IMAGINE THAT TWO BILLION PEOPLE WILL BE ADDED TO THE WORLD POPULATION IN THE NEXT 40 YEARS -TWO BILLION PEOPLE WHO NEED FOOD, WATER AND SHELTER, AND WHOSE NEEDS HAVE BECOME MORE URGENT DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND ADD TO THAT MILLIONS PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO MOVE BECAUSE OF THE RISING WATER LEVEL. RESEARCHES SHOW THAT 1.79 MILLION SQUARE KILOMETERS LAND OF THE WORLD MAY LOSE. THE MAJORITY OF THESE LAND LOSSES WILL TAKE PLACE IN AGRICULTURALLY IMPORTANT PLACES SUCH AS THE NILE BASIN.
WITH THE WARMED EARTH GLOBE, CHANGING PRESSURE VALUES, DECREASING PRECIPITATION, UNCONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION OF WATER RESOURCES, OUR COUNTRY IS FACED WITH THE RISK OF DESERTIFICATION.
FUTURISTIC SCENARIOS CAN SEE AS YOU SCIENCE FICTION. BUT THE DATA IS REAL. AND THE TOMORROW IS SOON.
NOW LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY! THE WORLD IS IN A BIG THRESHOLD. WE ARE IN BETWEEN THE NORMAL AND DISASTER. LIKE THE DESERTIFICATION OF SAHARA FORESTS 4 THOUSAND YEARS AGO. WITH THE INDUSTRIALIZATION AND POPULATION GROWTH IT WILL NOT TAKE THAT MUCH TIME.
IT’S VALUE WILL INCREASE AS WATER DECREASES. THERE WILL BE WARS FOR WATER SAKE. CONSIDERING THE OIL WARS AND DESTRUCTION OF 90'S, WHAT CONFLICTS WILL THE ABSENCE OF VITAL FLUID CASE?
WITHOUT WATER, AGRICULTURE WILL BE AFFECTED; WITHOUT AGRICULTURE, POPULATION WILL BE AFFECTED; WITHOUT POPULATION, PRODUCTION WILL BE AFFECTED; WITHOUT PRODUCTION, THE SYSTEM WILL BE AFFECTED.
WILL THE MONEY CONTINUE TO BE GOLD INDEXED, WHILE WATER IS SO VALUABLE? OF COURSE, IT WILL ACCUMULATE IN THE HANDS OF THE CAPITALS. NEWYORK WATER EXCHANGE...
