Incremental Production of Urban Public Green Space: A ‘Spiral Space’ Building Typology

This paper addresses a challenging global problem, insufficient accessible urban public green space, based on building typology. Offering sufficient spaces and maintaining the equalities of citizens’ accessibility in high-intensity cities has been increasingly challenging. Thus, providing adequate by 2030 is sub-goal SDGs No. 11. Solving this problem commonly considered responsibility planning; however, potential buildings scarcely discussed academia. Luckily, industry, many top architecture firms (studios) have tapped particular via design practice. practice-led research aims to understand efforts made industrial circles. Based fieldwork worldwide, study proposes ‘spiral space’ typology work as conceptual framework for emerging field. The key benefit typology—incremental production spaces—is qualitatively verified, good flexibility international acceptance are demonstrated cases. could serve basis future how play greater role supporting sustainability, such enhancing residents’ space metropolises. In addition, corresponding strategies herein also references practice architects.
