Title : Urban Cells
“A city is no longer built—it grows.”
The future city is no longer composed of isolated buildings,
but of interconnected units that function as a unified system.
This project explores a cellular approach to urban design,
where each spherical volume operates as an independent yet connected entity.
These units form a dense network, allowing continuous movement, interaction, and adaptability across the city.
The reflective aluminum envelope is not only an expression of a futuristic aesthetic,
but also a response to environmental challenges, reducing heat gain and improving thermal performance in an era of global warming.
Rather than defining the city as a collection of objects,
this proposal reimagines it as a living network—
a dynamic system capable of growth, connection, and evolution.
