INFERENCES…

• Though the design generates diff horizontal arrangements of blocks instead of a

skyscraper but it is only possible when the site is large enough.

• No intersection of pedestrian movement by vehicular movement.

• More incorporation of social spaces.

• More of green area than the built up area, thus making it a part of the ecology.

• All types of units are mixed.

• The spatial arrangements of the different blocks provide different states of sun and
shadow, with large water bodies provided for influencing the microclimate in the
recreational spaces between the towers, improving the overall quality of comfort and
experience.
