Abstract
In the current era the “future” becomes an increasingly uncertain question. Huge projects are being built right now all over the world supported mainly on the interests of Real Estate speculation. This capitalist driven urban expansion relies on a specific typology: the Skyscraper.
Simultaneously, the world population continues to increase, focusing on the urban. This problematic asks for new urban typologies that rethink verticality.
Through these projects, we don’t pretend to offer a better alternative, but to radicalize the question of verticality and to formulate a theoretical fertile-ground for a post skyscraper typology.
