Urban parkings that evolve

As the mobility problem is so universal - individuals and collectives around the world are fighting back really hard to find a workaround to alleviate humanity out of this manmade crisis. Since cities are still submissive to development led by cars and there is a tremendous motion to fix this massive problem without a starting point. With no real alternative in sight, there is an inextinguishable need for empty spaces which is paradoxical in an immense space crunch, the go-to solutions are parking towers that we see today. These skeletons are highly functional, cost-optimized with their prime priority cars only. Automobile shaping cities get the most figuratively accurate in these buildings which take shape by a car’s turning radius and not the city it inhabits. With the uncertainty that prevails, it is logical to ask whether we should still follow cars to define future cities?
Architecture has the biggest design opportunity in this uncertainty. In spite of so many unsolvable problems with parking and traffic, which really works in favor of a designer is the average age of the buildings. Architecture can outlive these uncertainties of transportation and make a powerful negotiation in paving a better future of transportation and our public spaces.
