Typology

MiⅮori is a vertical artisan village that integrates seamlessly with the lively culture, residents, and fields of Highline. Reflecting its name, MiⅮori – with 'Mi' symbolizing green and 'Ori' indicating folding – its wave-morphology-crafted folded surface creates a stunning and robust continuous farm belt. The strategically arranged spiral sunflower seeds enhance access to resources, and MidOri's design is focused on self-organization to maximize sunlight availability for every residential and commercial space equipped with a farming area. On a finer scale, foldable elements extend horizontally across individual units, ensuring cohesion. These elements ultimately act as outdoor functional features supporting agricultural efforts. MiⅮori stands as a dynamic structure, a vertical artisan community weaving together agriculture, living spaces, and commercial areas, harmoniously growing with the evolution of Highline.
