Green Vertical Neighborhood (studi su quartiere verticale verde a tipologi residentiali verticali)

Designing the green vertical neighborhood or green vertical community has come up to be investigated not so long ago. In an integrated research project I tried to study and develop the concept of green neighborhood narrowly in vertical orientation. Fundamentally residential buildings and high rise residential buildings have been set as the vehicles for this research. Having established a pragmatic framework I took into account the meaning and definitions around many terms like green movements, dwelling, residential building, high rise building, neighborhood, responsive environment and sustainability. The background and theoretical studies have been considered historically and the different points of view have been distinguished accurately. Naturally the scale of neighborhood unit studies varies through macro (urban), mid (district) and micro (architecture).Several similar case studies around the world have been set to be analyzed according to the research process goals and finally these case studies built the ultimate outcomes. Consequently an integrated sustainable model of green vertical neighborhood guidelines is offered based on the theory of Ken Yeang about green vertical building design. Pushing forward the previous model of Yeang’ theory and setting a new critical framework in order to Improve the life quality in residential buildings regarding the responsive guidelines of green vertical neighborhood for high rise buildings is the main goal of this research.
