LIFE SPIRAL is a masterplan concept for the CCIP (Central City Industrial Park) in Houston. The project has won the first prize in the Architectural Masterplan Competition Greening the Industrial City, and will be exhibited during TEDxHouston Countdown.
The competition site is expected to result in a multifunctional vibrant post-industrial district.
The planning principles are based on the use of the original modular grid of industrial development and the restoration of the disturbed ecosystem of the water-green frame.

The territory is to become spatially integrated into the urban fabric, become permeable and multifunctional. The revitalization regards the principles of sustainability and provides for Houston’s adaptation to changes in the climate – the one prone to prolonged droughts and heavy rainfalls.
