flyscraper

bad architects group with michael kritzinger presented the ‘flyscraper’ as a revolutionary and visionary design proposal for the next generation skyscraper consisting of flying living units, attached with individual ‘carbon isogrid’® tubes to the ground. In urban areas across the world we see two phenomena: fast growing cities and metropolitan areas as well as shrinking cities. The ‘flyscraper’ is designed for both: deserted as well as congested urban areas. Moreover the ‘flyscraper’ responds to the existing urban fabric in a very adaptive way, respecting the historical context and heritage concerns. In addition, the ‘flyscraper’ offers a solution for very dense urban fabrics, making also very small, irregularly shaped and usually commercially worthless pieces of land {‘curb property’} accessible and worthy for developments. All in all the ‘flyscraper’ is a fragile but bold vision.
