The scope for the Project includes the Masterplanning, Architecture and Landscape of a 23-acre development in Gurgaon, India, comprising townhouses and high-rise residential towers, including one at 50-storeys, to be the tallest residential tower in North India.Located in the outskirts of Delhi and once comprising merely farmland, the city of Gurgaon is growing rapidly into a metropolis attracting numerous MNCs and naturally those in search of a living. In the context of this urban development, the Team’s challenge lay in giving back to the environment as developers continue to build on and take over the fertile ground. The project’s core concept hence seeks to encourage landscape replenishment through gardening in high-rise residential living. Our response was to map existing farm grids as planning formulations onto the site, then to extrude them based on the programmatic brief requirements to become ‘vertical residential farmlands’. With further inspiration from the landscape and living environment, the Team combined an abstracted graphic representation of the rhythm of modern life in urban India, with a representation of the Aravalli Mountain Range of Northern India which runs north-easterly through Rajasthan State. The resulting profile breaks the monotony of regular high-rises and undulates organically with a rigour resonant of its vibrant, evolving context.The ‘vertical residential farmlands’ concept provides opportunities for the conscious replenishment and growing of the landscape. Each extruded agricultural land plot division forms part of roof gardens on the tops of towers and mid-rise sections. Zooming in further, each rectangular row within a plot was also extruded and then layered vertically on top of each other to form planter boxes at the balcony and windows of each unit. The total area of the planter boxes was planned to equate to the area of the farmland taken over by the development, in remembrance of the original site.
