Multifamily Tower. The DBEW competition addressed the problem of creating housing pattern for 1-child families in China. In traditional chinese family children support their parents when they get old. Parents tend to keep their children close. In one-child family this model may become patological and limit child possibilities. When children leave home parents become lonely. The next generation is half of the older one, parents have to support their child and four grandparents. MULTI-FAMILY is a social structure which combines one-child families into bigger ‘family’. The process of growing bonds between children until they become adult and can make next generation of multi-family happens on the roof garden with kid-units placed in it. Units are lit up from inside and visible from a considerable distance, similar to instant messenger interface (online/offline). The tower building grows upwards along time as next genaration builds up next level of structure. When a level becomes empty free-plan allows to reuse it for different purposes (commerce) and support family income.
