3. The Orchestrated City : Exploring issues of flexibility, scale and context. Challenging the
general preconception that vertical cities are un-contextual by establishing new forms of

parallel to that, a strong view is developing that an unsatisfactory city life is being grown within
a concrete jungle. Is it the vertical development that makes us miserable within a city? or is the
inappropriate composition of it that shuttled whole of the city life?
