Hybridia-From weak form towards hedonistic sustainability

When talking about new architectural preferences, there is one key term to take into consideration: sustainable building. In Kosovo, countless buildings continue to appear without worrying about consequences.The aim of this research is to reach a qualitative architectural design, meeting the needs of society.

This Project represents the transition of buildings to sustainable ones. It treats the quality of living, social aspect, and the impact of architecture itself at the inhabitants living in there. It covers a variety of approaches by applying new technologies, materials, and methodologies, focusing on ecosystem integrity, by carrying and reaching biodiversity. The project provides multiple functions, that residents living in that area need. These functions besides Residential one include; Bank, Kindergarten, Family Healthcare clinic, Shopping Center, Gym, Restaurant, Green House, Gastronomy, Boutiques, parking, and many different functions that residents in that neighborhood asked for. To integrate these functions in a single complex without threatening the privacy of residents living in there, Plato was designed. This Plato separates the public area from the private area, so the residents living there won't be disturbed. Above the Plato, following the Urban Sprawl, the building takes its own shape. The multiplication of the module above the Plato generates the shape of complex, forming terraces. There are 7 main module typologies, including ones that treat earth-sheltered architecture, the module for disabled people, and integrated modules. Each module has its own garden, so residents can cultivate their own products. The integration of garden and design itself won't let the residents that lived in houses change the lifestyle that they had before. Such an approach also has an impact on the environmental aspect. The distance of the actual path for pedestrians is long and the design has a large mass without interfering. But considering the slope of the terrain and design itself gives the opportunity to create another path underground. This path creates a promenade that is used as an urban shopping center. Along this promenade, there are designed many different gastronomy and boutiques used as an attraction for pedestrians. This promenade also gives access to other functions that are designed underground.
