Impossible to build at first, this competition-winning design from 1967 was eventually realized at a different site. It is based on 'Biopolis', a critical study rejecting CIAM urban design in favour of megastructures with an integrated mix of functions. Its 179 dwellings in terraced layers combine with rectilinear blocks for offices, studios and communal facilities to generate an exhilarating spatiality in the interior.
