'Masterplan' revisited the modernist paradigm towers-in-park. Learning from the success of Central Park in NYC, the project condenses residential units in high FAR point towers, meanwhile introducing for-lease commercial strip on site to increase activity/livability.

Towers themselves adopt the high modern philosophy of separating served spaces with serving ones, expressing BOH functions in continuous vertical shafts, which also double as structural support. The radial plan allows for a central atrium that enables venturi effects.

Towers-in-park fails to deliver the idealistic picture many modernists painted mainly because of the de-contextualizing habits of the international style. It has proven to be only effective with dense city fabrics. If there is no pressure of the population to disperse onto an open ground, the long-time paradigm will continue its struggle with turning the ideal into reality, leaving behind unattended empty lots for urban waste.
