Improving the quality of the living environment is the focus of the project. FLYING GREENERY BLOCKS The concept behind creating "flying greenery blocks" with a width of 2-3.5m is to provide a variety of outdoor activities, such as a garden, elevated playground, etc., that are integrated into each space to offer a natural experience and relaxation after a day of work in the industrial park. The blocks are arranged in a staggered manner to create vertical spaces for trees to grow and develop, while also creating a lively rhythm on the facade. VENTILATION AND SUNSHADE The layout is divided into 4 blocks, with the traffic lane also serving as a natural ventilation gap to increase airflow. The combination of the extended blocks and large trees provides shade to the surface of the building. "The flying block" is a design solution that aims to improve the living quality of high-rise complexes in urban areas.
