Design strategies for residential high rise buildings through open building principles

Current high rise living trends view apartments as rigid inflexible structures. People are dynamic, progressive and adaptive. Our living spaces should be able to adapt to our changing needs, expanding families, tendency to migrate and fast-paced oriented lifestyles. We are constantly upgrading our b...
