Mixed Use: Introduction
Mixed use buildings, although, sounding complicated is actually an old method that had been scrapped in the past due to the reinforcement of car development and stricter division. New development of these mixed buildings since the 1990s has already paved the way for more creative concepts that might fill a city’ dweller’s need all in one location.
Forms of Mixed Use
The most common forms of these mix-used building consist of having space efficacy and efficiency which re achieved under two style:
Vertical: Having a single multi-story building that typically mixes both apartments at the top floors and retail or office spaces at the lower floors. With subsequent garage spaces and parking being accessible at a basement level, which in some institutions can connect underground public transportation as well.
Horizontal: Although less common to think off are actually quite common. Think of those spaces that revolve around an open courtyard. Such concepts are based on this and spread over several buildings. They serve specific uses while creating a microcosm within a place, a community centered with a dedicated gathering space.
Mixed-Use Building Application
Mixed-use also can serve as a way to rejuvenate and create a more elaborate space that is more well used by having a
- Greater housing variety and density
- Better energy efficiency and sustainability
- Stronger Neighborhood character
- Better integration with City services, like public transportation
- More flexibility to adapt to hanging needs, thus increasing the building’s long term life cycle
With these incorporations it can practically change a hustling business district that might originally have closed down at night into an area that is vibrant and jovial that would bring people together that wouldn’t normally meet there, it would also take more cars off the streets and provide a much-desired retreats of nature.
Security?
One case of uncertainty is how there will be access of control and movement in these buildings, as these will house several sets of people that travel there for different purposes. It might also question how easily unwanted personnel could enter such buildings. Well one innovative solution that is already implemented now-days that can easily solve this problem are elevator enhancers, which are practically security bound private access keys that must be inserted and predicted by the flow of traffic to better suit the needs of the people that attend the institution while also keeping unwanted personnel out.
Examples of bounded institutions in our present day are
The Via Vallejo in Mexico City
JR towers in Nagoya, Japan
The 35XV in Manhattan, NY
The Carlton Connective Initiative at the University of Melbourne

Flexible Architecture and Design that can take over the world in mixed use
The original mindful intention has spurred up in the modern sharing economy and has become evident in the world of design and architecture. Collaborative consumption and collaborative, multi-use spaces have arrived as a result of this rise with the benefits of architecture being wide and many. For example, it has the ability to keep the built environment relevant as time goes on, while the biophilic design can improve space and use-efficacy. This can challenge the common notion of buildings being one and done structures, this will bring possibilities inherent from flexible architecture into the modern age.
“As the world changes and occupant needs evolve at an ever faster pace, the built environment must be designed with flexibility in mind.”
