Cambodia Housing Challenge
A pedestrian ‘river’ carves a canyon through the built environment and in the process creates a series of terraced communities - referencing Cambodia’s mountainous rice fields. As the walkway branches, forming a delta as it reaches the river, smaller, pocket neighborhood blocks are formed. A channel cut into the walkway ensures the river is not merely symbolic as the intention is for water to follow this when receding from the floods. Shaded from the sun, the canyon floor becomes the neighborhood park, the market and general community gathering space. The first 6 levels are accessible. During flood season, its likely water would follow this course to the river. The tallest structures are set farthest from the river, thereby allowing more units to have views and access to natural ventilation. A perimeter road around the site allows vehicular access.
