From the 2006 Marcus Prize Studio at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Winy Maas of MVDRV presents the work of twelve
students who explored the relationship between infrastructure,
architecture, and urban form. This highly investigative studio
pushed the physical and conceptual limits of given definitions of
city, circulation, and program. Tested in two scenarios (one real
in Tianjin, China and the other purely hypothetical) Maas and his
students sever vehicular traffic flow from its traditional
two-dimensional plane and then forecast the potentials of a new,
hyper-volumetric city where given urban activity inflate to fully
occupy all three-dimensions. Populated by 5 million inhabitants and
rising 800 meters high, this new 'sky car city' is buzzing with the
flows of goods and people, as they navigate the airways in several
models of air-born vehicles, also designed by the students.
