“New Formalism” “High-Riseism” “Pasivelism”

In downtown Century City(center of Beverly Hills, California), surrounded by big, cold buildings, this project brings a new idea to make the city alive with nature. It mixes three special design principles -“New Formalism”, “High-Riseism”, and “Passivelism” – to make something called an “Urban Hill.” This isn’t just a high-rise building; it’s a place where nature and the city live together. The plan is to show that buildings and nature don’t have to be separate. Instead, we can design buildings that feel like part of nature, filled with plants and green spaces.

This project on being green and saving energy. It uses smart designs that keep the buildings cool and comfortable without using a lot of energy, making the air cleaner and the people living there healthier. This way, the “Urban Hill” is more than just a building; it’s a place full of life, a green spot in the middle of the city. Through the lens of high-riseism, the project has layered up to 15 platforms to integrate the greenery into the boundary of each story.

This big idea imagines a future where our buildings are part of nature, making our cities better places to live. It’s about bringing together city living and the natural world in a way that’s good for everyone.
