Theme: block house

Hilladaptus is a settlement that reimagines the relationship between humans, nature, and other bio-organisms. It embodies the concept of a new human type - Homo Adaptus. The complex is organized according to a radial principle and seeks to integrate into the natural landscape, avoiding rigid boundaries and manifesting the idea of indeterminate chaos.

The biomorphic forms of the residential cells allow them to "flow" and intertwine, forming a "social hill" divided into three landscapes:

1. The lower level consists of first-level communication paths, structured as a rising and deepening field;

2. The middle level is the residential core, composed of clustered living units connected by a system of visual and functional links;

3. The upper level is a social fabric that blankets the entire complex, accessible to both residents and visitors.

The architectural composition is crowned by a peak rising above the settlement, symbolizing the illusion of control: while everything is visible, true intervention remains impossible from such a distant vantage point.
