this is the winning entry by MVRDV Architects in a competition to design a sustainable community in the suburbs of Seoul. all the buildings are terraces, edged with boxed planters to create the look of a 'hill.' the voids in the buildings are to create semi-public spaces along with light and ventilation. all told, the community aims to house 77,000 people and should be completed by the end of 2011 (!).
leave it to people outside North America to show us what the future will look like.. where's my sustainable hill community Stephen Harper?!
