"What if Architecture went away from the all-mighty narcissistic thing it sometimes can be to a simpler setting of rules"
"Could we just give them a soft self regenerating skin? Could they just absorb certain forces, maybe give in in some ways? Maybe their growth could be very slow. Maybe they would start out now with the materials we know and then the higher floors would be added one after the next, year by year and so the materials would become er and better and more efficient... or just different. What if Architecture went away from the all-mighty narcissistic thing it sometimes can be to a simpler setting of rules. Let's make a soft building, maybe one that grows and is alive...
maybe this would be a nice start...
I know they look like pancakes. Imagine each floor could be very different..."
"Envisioning cities of the future: Vegetal City"
"What if our cities grew? What if our habitat was alive and evolving along with us? Here is an amazing body of work by visionary architect Luc Schuiten called Vegetal City. I love The Evolution of a City animation."

sun rule2
Southern walls may only be as high as there is clear space south of them.
This rule is derived from Adelaide's sun angel of 35' which is then aproximated to 45'. Over Adelaide's main streets like Franklin st. of 30m this would allow 30m high or 6 stories to be happily built all over the city.
