Imagine a place where there are no cars. Your bathroom cleans itself. Your neighbor is your best friend. Welcome to Kaze, where happiness is just the beginning. PennDesign student [email protected] M.Ar c h S t u d i o Situated directly above the major junction of subway, trolley, and rail lines, residents can truly live the urban dream of absolute convenience. The building optimizes conditions for natural ventilation, requiring no additional air conditioning during the summer months. Wind devices also maximize the collection of wind energy from the wind tunnels existing within the density of buildings. No community is complete without a gathering space. Equipped with large open rooms, monthly or even weekly potlucks are scheduled, as well as gatherings to watch the Sunday football game. Communal gardens also provide a place for gathering as well as cultivation of organic produce. Come and really begin to truly live.

Beyond a modern health clinic, the program also includes a daycare and public library. The most prominent feature is a covered outdoor space for community gatherings as well as daily and weekend markets for area residents. Informed by an intense study of fractal geometries, the form is structurally efficient combined with the efficiencies of prefabrication.
