City is a living organism, it constantly evolves, transforms and outgrows its original boundaries. To cope with the demands of an increasing urban population, cities are in constant flux. They grow denser and spread; they require re-structuring and transformation on almost every level.
What I would like to investigate this year is how a new structures could grow into and existing urban landscape. How the city could grow into the city instead of swallowing itself, and by this I mean demolishing decaying structures and replacing them with new ones. What I will be looking at are the voids in an urban fabric.
