Hollwich Kushner, a New York based architecture studio co-run by Matthias Hollwich, proposes an engaging piece of social architecture: Skyler. The project aims to address an existential issue and place it in the context of urban planning: how to age well.

The proposed building prototype is for an intergenerational skyscraper, which will accommodate representatives of different age groups by promoting co-living and exchange between generations. The skyscraper’s monumental silhouette echoes the whimsical modernism of the 1930s architectural Art Deco, with a cladding beautifully fusing in slick, curvy forms. The unique sculptural shape creativelly celebrates the transformation of aging and provides a unique point of view from each side – something that comes with experience.
