RECIPROCITY ZONING

December 15, 2008 - 10:15 am

The RECIPROCITY ZONING project was designed as an entry to the Re:Vision DALLAS competition. The competition called for a very high-density residential block that does no harm, to people or place, while fostering respect for nature and our neighbors, privacy and resources, economy and consumption. The proposal is based on the notion that a city block is an integral part of the urban ecosystem, and should be designed as such, taking advantage of the different flows the city has to offer, social, economic and environmental. The design is informed by a reciprocity matrix, containing 3 realms of resources the project draws on: Natural, Social and Programmatic.

The project was designed with Manuel Avila and Matt Thomas.
