street-side f acade

'I've always been fascinated by parking garages, for a long time, I've been researching how to bring the street

into a building and make that into an urban space. our preliminary sketches explored what a parking garage

can become by simply manipulating the building components inherent to the building type. these sketches progressed

naturally into an expressed, continuous vehicular circulation path which suits its purpose, yet provides a

unique experience and even a degree of fun for the user; a reflection of the city’s aspirations to create an environment

that looks beyond established utilitarian conventions.' zaha hadid

This is absolutely lovely and it looks like a heck of a lot of fun just to park my car. I w ould probably drive around in it for a w hile before settling dow n to a space.

I may be cheap but is this seems to be a lot of money to spend on a parking structure. I w onder w hat it w ould have cost to put something underground and build

apartments into this proposed parking structure?
