The studio aims to create a living landform- an all-wood tower rising two miles that can accommodate a population of 100,000 inhabitants to achieve a new typology for collective housing / community within the urban setting of Miami, Florida.

The second part of project aims in designing the whole tower, with structure and transportation systems. Inspired by the resilience of the human body, this community provides a light framework that embodies the systems necessary for living in the sky.
