The term landscape is now used and understood in its most saturated sense. In his book, “The Meanings of Landscape”, Kenneth R. Olwig defines landscape as a place of human habitation and environmental interaction, composed of layers of history, culture, community and topography. Focused on vertical living, this thesis aims to harness these layers in efforts to restore the balance between the built and the natural in one of the most densely populated areas of the city.
