The world's metropolises are home to steadily growing

populations. Densification measures are one solution to

the problems of urbanization, creating inner-city living

space where there was none before. The smallest of gaps

between buildings is utilized, perimeter block develop - ments are completed, courtyards filled in, houses height - ened and smaller structures replaced with larger ones. This process of densification preserves existing and natu - rally developed quarters and infrastructure, while protect - ing against urban sprawl and the development of soulless

quarters full of new builds. In some cases, a self-contained

element that clearly sets itself apart from the existing built

environment is most suitable; in others, the best solution

is the re-interpretation and development of the existing

context. The architectural approach to each project is as

unique as its context.
