While a study of suburbia exposes issues of sustainability, it too reveals the desire for a lifestyle and aesthetic that represents freedom and privacy. The car, the instrument that allowed for a new relationship between rural and urban living, will not simply be erased from this picture. As new technology emerges to address energy resource and emission concerns, reality requests us to address the car culture as part of the suburban condition. The design of a series of 3 to 10 story spiral structures, each containing 70 to 200 individual 5,000 s.f. lots, placed on a continuous and interconnecting ramp, efficiently compresses a working suburban subdivision into a vertical composition. Not unlike a hill-town, ramps replace sprawling roads, leading your car directly to your house. The vertical condition allows for greater and diverse amenities in closer proximity, a more walkable community, and a smaller footprint on the natural landscape. Park Vegas does not address the issue of home aesthetics, and maintains much of the suburban lifestyle. However, when we push the idea of suburbia in this experimental direction to an extreme, ironically and interestingly it lands at a density and spatial condition that is almost urban.
