the heathazy concept

A smooth transition and diffusion from the urban structure to the free open landscape has become the basic of the concept. Urban volumes are gradually land-scraping and densified towards the city as well as rising vertically. Reaching the town the structure itself gains the regular form. In the opposite direction the grid is getting loose and merging into the landscape. From a distant point / perspective views structure attempts to dissolve the horizon resembling the glittering of hot air stream heathaze-shimmering effect. overlapping effect of houses and landscapes is recognizable. Camouflage effect conceived as a defensive-offensive strategy now becomes a morphing tool between the landscape and the urban structure. Site territory represents an interactive field between the town and the open landscape where the game of gathering takes a place. The aim is to create effective relations between the proposed structure, existing city and the landscape. there is a scaling effect from the side-areas to the centre of the territory. This part is conceived as a node of converging flows of the city–urban greenery to the landscape by a green belt.
