-The Influence of Autonomous Transportation on High-Rise Design


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In what way does autonomous travel by the individual derive a new form of high-rise urban architecture?
Today, urbanization and mass movement of people from rural to urban area have become a global phenomenon across the spectrum of developed and developing country. Mega cities with the population over 10 million people are growing rapidly and changing the way we design and live in a city. Primarily, larger infrastructure and new set transportation methods are created to address the unique issues resulting from the unprecedented rate and scale of urbanization. Over the centuries, technology advancement of transportation methods path the way we access our city; the canal age gave way to the railway age, followed by the century of vehicles and planes. Within that, our city grew taller and larger in scale to accommodate the growth in the city with the limited land available. Hence, with the increase of population, accessibility towards the urban centre becomes more complex and challenging for future designer with limited land that change the way we visual our city and society. Therefore, finding out and position of the next generation architecture tendency has become a research gap in this thesis.
