93 Petit Apartments / Studio Razavi Architecture

Regardless of their size, all buildings in urban contexts contribute to the greater morphology that ultimately defines a city. The larger the project, however, the more the architect becomes under pressure to sensibly balance land use ratio and design. Although this may again evolve in the future, the most current and commonly accepted approach to sustainable urban design is degree densification in and near cities, allowing a greater number of people to rely on public transport, live closer to their work and city centers, rely on local businesses to ultimately create vibrant neighborhoods.
