the multipurpose implant the attributes The implants have the following attributes: public space generator, services provider, independent entrance for upper floors, infra- structural node for upper levels, green open space provider.
untouchables The untouchables are the areas within the existing block that will be left open so that sun exposure is still possible for the lower floors. Nothing can be built on top of these selected open spaces. situation The multipurpose implants position themselves locally surrounding an untouchable. This will as- sure them to have direct sunlight for an adequate fulfillment of activities. The position also coincides with a possible entrance from street level.
structure The structure is a dual system. The primary structure takes advantage of the present condition by constructing a web of possibilities based on the existing structure of the houses. Only the portionthat is necessary for the specific posi- tion of the implant gets actually built. While it gets served by the existing, the primary structure also contributes by making the whole system more stable. The secondary structure is the ‘flexible’ adaptation device system that allows the implant to accommodate the variable ‘topographical’ situations on the block. green The provision of green space has two modalities: one makes the green part of the urban landscape by using the secondary structure as a trellis for climber species and the other generates green public space in close proximity to other service programs within the block.
