Alternative Desert City 2070

The studio is primarily tasked with the proposal for 5,000 units in 2070 within the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Using ancillary programs to support the housing (office, industry, transport, entertainment, public space, infrastructure), the project created a gateway to DT Phoenix in hopes of activating the space and introducing density.

Connections between Downtown Phoenix are prioritized in various forms of infrastructure. The ground level is restricted to pedestrian access, removing asphalt to mimimize urban heat island effect. Upper levels of proposed infrastructure holds autonomous transport vehicles and railway systems for public use.
