Boba flat – horizontal densification
The project is an architectural concept for dense development based on horizontal instead of vertical density. The project was elaborated for ABZ Cooperative of Zurich, Switzerland.
The presentation board explains six cardinal points of Boba flat: The history of the building remains recognizable, no open areas are wasted, the pattern of space use optimizes the usable area, a lively sequence of micro and macro prevents tedious repetition, energy management is decentralized, and long-term thinking has sway over short-term benefits.
