I am curently doing a project for a back wall or "fence" of a highrise on one of the major streets in the city. Initially when I got it, I thought it would be a simple, no-brainer, time-filler, etc. project... But now it is actually a quite interesting design problem, a real urban project and my first here. How do we create a transition, a separation between a group of big buildings: two 20m garages, two 55m office, and one 160m tower, with an 8m back alley street of low rise complexes. On top of that we only have 300mm width of space to use. In other words, how would you design a mini skirt for a group of tall post-mo buildings (by rtkl)? The goal is to make it sexy and not gross.
