3D City: Future China

Paolo Soleri, 90 year old Italian American architect, proposed a 3d future city of Chine. This proposal is designed to accomodate 100,000 - 300,000 residents in 1-2 square kilometers with limited material and energy resources.

Working with MVRDV the concept was:
"beyond scarcity, beyond separation, beyond pessimism and protectionism"

A brief desription of there concept:
"...looking for alternative, high-density solutions besides skyscrapers: single buildings that will be connected waving on 'terraced towers', so as to realize their ideal of "beyond scarcity, beyond separation, beyond pessimism and protectionism"
