FV : PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION - EVALUATION Different alternatives for the distribution of the original Magnolia Projects program lead to the conclusion that while the ecological performance of the flat vertical typology is very high comparing to other building typologies, it performs poorly in parameters that relates to the organization of the ground level, such as its connectivity to the street grid and the percentage

of private open space in the site. Other typologies that lack the ecological performance of the flat vertical, performs better on the ground.
