Horizontal City Of No Nation,
The horizontal city of no nation proposes a response to the unprecedented global displacement levels.
The project was developed by chinese design team, zhichen gong, yong chen, tianrong wu, yingzhi he, and congying he.
The team explains:
‘we propose to build a skyscraper along the border between two countries which provides shelter with security and development opportunities for refugees. the core part of this proposal is how to conserve their original environment and provide adequate space. based on the narrow buffer zone, the skyscraper introduced here should not be simple stack of broken layers, but a transformation from a horizontal lifestyle to a vertical one.‘
