Urban Think Tank does it again

Today we saw the Urban Think Tank project in Caracas Venezuela.

Here is a continuation of their thinking about the vertical gymnasium, but also the urban agricultural component. 

What is most interesting though is how the building is 'lifted' off the ground to hold a basketball court, so the public ream (stairs, ramps etc) flows into public seating and under and into the building. 

THIS IS INTEGRATION. LOOK AT THE DIAGRAMS!!!

Think about multiple use of buildings. Not just residential or an office but MANY programmes. Here they have sport, music school, public spaces,urban agricultural and wetlands.
