CANOPY CITY
GAUD Pratt | Urban Design Program
Director: Architects Kutan Ayata & Michael Young

Most cities have a strong relationship to the ground, in
terms of structure, infrastructure and Real Estate. The
project challenges the necessity of the ground as the
foundation to the city. The Canopy City supports the
systems of the city so structure, infrastructure and Real
Estate are based upon needle points that connect
to a canopy network, and allow to develop the city
in different ways over time. Canopy-> Down as an
opposite of Ground -> Up.
