concept sketch 3





Elevators.......it's very convenient.....but we never realize how high we are actually occupying when using elevators.
Today, increasing number of people are living above "ground." They are living high in the air than what people could have imagined before. Traditionally, people are living on the ground...ground level, but less people are doing that. One who lives in a house has the privilege of living on the ground. It is nice to have your own entry, porch, backyard,etc. These privileges of living on the ground is lost for many people today, because buildings are getting taller, and people are living in the higher elevation.

But what is ground level? If there is a house on a hill...is it on or above ground??? The recent technology has led to the use of roof as a green space: green roof. Grass could only grow on the ground before, and now it can be planted on the roof. So building's roof become a ground......potentially...

I'm not sure where I'm going with this yet...
