森林城市

此論文設計以層次性、滲透性以及室外化居住三個主要題

材尋求一個能將自然融入現金社會的高密度住宅建築原型。

森林城市重疊各種不同用途並把人類棲居遷移至空中，以

將地面回歸於自然，結成了個互聯互通的城市網格覆蓋著

地面繁茂的森林。同時，室外化的居住環境同時也模糊了

鄰居之間的分界線，提高鄰里的社群精神。這森林城市混

合體使城市與森林可以共存，成為一個人類、動物與植物

可共享的棲息所。

 

This thesis seeks to search for a prototypical housing hybrid

which attempts to bridge nature and culture by exploring

three major themes: layering, porosity, and exterior dwelling.

Forest Urbanism opposes monofunctional land use through

the layering of different programs, creating porous building

masses and elevating human dwelling skywards and freeing

up ground plane to be forested, resulting in an interconnected

urban lattice above a lushly forested ground. At unit scale, 

exterior dwelling establishes a fluid transition between interior

and exterior, blurring the boundary between neighbors

creating ambiguous common territories which lead to

increased interaction and shared activities between

neighbors, consequently resulting in a more community-centric

neighborhood. This new urban-nature hybrid is a system that

has the potential to expand continuously, facilitating the

coexistence of residential complex and forest, providing

habitat for all people, flora, and fauna.
