Urban Metamorphosis: Enhancing Imageability through Vertical Hybrids

To create a vertical ecosystem of hybrid urban forms to enhance imageability. This paper proposes a transformativeapproach to elevate the imageability of cities through a fusion of innovative urban forms, vertical ecosystems, andsustainability principles. Drawing inspiration from theories of vertical urbanism and universal design, the researchemphasizes the strategic utilization of vertical space to optimize land use in densely populated areas. The approachstrategically suggests constructing new high-rises on existing risk-prone structures slated for demolition. The designincorporates an elevated green area functioning as a recreational zone, fostering a healthier and more sustainable urbanenvironment. The paper emphasizes Transit-Oriented Development in the design process, aiming to integrate publictransportation with urban development to reduce private vehicle dependency, promote sustainable mobility, and enhanceaccessibility. The objective is to craft a dynamic urban experience that encourages connectivity and a sense of belongingwithin the existing fabric.
