由于人口老龄化已经稳定回流到城市环境中，纽约hollwich kushner建筑事务所针对这一社会问题构想了一个建筑策略。“skyler”是一栋雕塑化的塔楼，旨在按人们的各个生命阶段垂直分层为不同的社区——这个架构将迎合不同年龄层及其附属生活的需求，这样任何年龄层的居住者都可以感到满足和生活的刺激。该塔楼的立面上有许多不对称的切割面，这为居住者创造了独特的风景和别样的生活体验。整个建筑为人们提供了广泛且多样化的定制服务——年轻人的日托服务，退休人员的业务延续中心（这些人对退休后的业务维持十分感兴趣），一家养老院，超市和校车接送服务以及迎合所有年龄层的健康中心。

With an aging population that has been steadily moving back into the urban environment, new york-based studio hollwich kushner have conceived a an architectural solution to a sociological problem.‘Skyler’ is a sculptural tower aimed at supported a vertically layered community throughout an entire lifetime- a structure which caters to different age groups and accompanying needs, so that inhabitants can be constantly cared for and stimulated no matter what stage in life they are in.The tower, with its asymmetrically faceted elevations provides unique views and the same diversity in experience as the people it intends to house.Its holistic approach to offers a wide variety of tailored services- day cares for the young ones, a business continuation center for senior citizens who are interested in staying professionally engaged, an infirmary, grocery shopping and school drop-off services, and a health center catered to all age groups.

“Skyler挑战着人口老龄化问题，并将它们转化为机遇。Skyler一直在想象着：假设你们可以支撑起你们整个生命，那怎样才能使生活的经历与众不同。怎样才能改变你与周边人们的交往方式呢？是否可以让我们的生活更加智能呢？一个更好的生活方式？这就是为什么我们要创建Skyler的原因，设计一栋可以满足使用者随着年龄增长的各种需求，并帮助他们塑造自己的未来的建筑。”——建筑师matthias hollwich

‘Skyler takes the challenges of aging and turns them into opportunities, imagine how the experience of living would be different if you were supported for your whole life. How would it change the way you engage with the people around you? Wouldn’t that be a smarter way to live? A better way to live? This is why we created skyler, a building designed to enable users to constantly grow and shape their own future.’ – architect matthias hollwich.

该项目包含了600个单元，提供了各种微型公寓类型和“城市设计”，可以让不同背景的各个年龄层的使用者选择集群的社会单元，私密的独立单元或者更传统的公寓式布局。在这个垂直社区中，居民们在他们全生命周期中，都可以相互关心、照顾并且互相学习。该结构可以根据这些变化的需求不断改变和适应，主要是将这些培养变化需求的空间进行延伸。

The program includes 600 units that offer a variety of micro housing typologies and ‘urban designs’ that allow users to pick between clustered social units, private isolated units, and more traditional apartment-style layouts that provide the backdrops for all stages of life. Within this vertical community, inhabitants are cared for, looked after, and given the opportunity to learn and grow with one another throughout their entire lifetimes. The structure allows one to change and adapts to those changing needs by offering the range of spaces that cultivate changing needs.
