Elevit: An Elevated Human Settlement

This thesis proposes an  urban project called Elevit, which aims to redefine urban living by envisioning a sustainable and elevated human settlement that eliminates the need for ground footprint. By emphasizing living in the air, Elevit seeks to create a unique and environmentally conscious urban experience.

The project focuses on addressing the challenges of urbanization while mitigating the depletion of land resources. By adopting a holistic approach that eliminates the capturing of ground footprint, Elevit aims to showcase a new paradigm of urban living.

Through the utilization of modular designs and innovative architectural solutions, Elevit demonstrates the possibility of sustainable and adaptable urban settlements that minimize their environmental impact.

Elevit emphasizes the preservation of natural habitats and resources by avoiding the creation of additional structures in existing urban areas. By capitalizing on underutilized airspace and innovative construction techniques, the project presents a promising solution to the issues of urbanization.

The project envisions detachable pods that can be interconnected with existing urban areas, offering unique transportation solutions and enhancing sustainability. This approach promotes resource efficiency while providing residents with customizable living arrangements.

Drawing inspiration from past utopian projects and analyzing their shortcomings, By exploring the concept of living in the air and eliminating the need for ground footprint, Elevit aims to showcase the benefits of an alternative way of urban living.

In conclusion, Elevit represents a visionary urban project that envisions living in the air and eliminates the capturing of ground footprint. By integrating sustainable design principles, innovative construction techniques, and a commitment to minimizing environmental impact, Elevit offers a compelling alternative for urbanization that prioritizes sustainability and a unique living experience.
