Pedregulho Housing Development, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1952 designed by Affonso Reidy
Coupled with the free façade of glass and pilotis, the intermediary level serves as a visual, social and circulatory mediator between the diverse spaces that comprise life in Pedregulho.
Still a pioneering project, Pedregulho challenges the singular focus on housing that remains characteristic of conventional social housing development. By integrating broader programs such as education, health and leisure, Pedregulho established the notion that life advancement requires access to a range of social resources in close proximity. -- blogs.utexas.edu

Park Hill, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK, 1961 designed by Jack Lynn and Ivor Smith working with J. L. Womersley of Sheffield Corporation City Architectʼs Department
A SECOND CHANCE FOR SHEFFIELD'S STREETS IN THE SKY from Architecture Reviewarchitects Jack Lynn and Ivor Smith began work in 1945 designing the Park Hill Flats. Inspired by Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation and the Smithsons' unbuilt schemes, most notably for Golden Lane in London, the deck access scheme, was viewed as revolutionary at the time. The concept of the flats was described as streets in the sky. Broad decks, wide enough for milk floats, had large numbers of front doors opening onto them. -- Wikipedia

Robin Hood Gardens, Poplar, London, UK, 1972 designed by Alison and Peter Smithson
It was intended as an example of the 'streets in the sky' concept: social housing characterised by broad aerial walkways in long concrete blocks
It covers about two hectares and consists of two long blocks, one of ten storeys, the other of seven, built from precast concrete slabs and containing 213 flats, surrounding a landscaped green area and a small hill made from construction spoil. The flats themselves are a mixture of single-storey apartments and two-storey maisonettes, with wide balconies (the 'streets') on every third floor. -- WikipediaRead a post from ArchDaily

Exterior stairways are interpersed along the length of the portico to provide access to their corridor. -- The Harvard Architecture Review I, Spring 1980. P. 210-211

Eastwood apartment complex, Roosevelt Island, New York, USA, 1976 designed by Josep Lluis Sert
Eastwood, the largest apartment complex on the island, and Westview were designed by noted architect Josep Lluis Sert, then dean of Harvard Graduate School of Design. Eastwood, along with Peabody Terrace (in Cambridge, Massachusetts), is a prime example of Sert's investigations into high-rise multiple-dwelling residential buildings. It achieves a remarkable level of efficiency by triple-loading corridors with duplex apartment units, such that elevators and public corridors are only needed every three floors. -- Wikipedia

Void Space/Hinged Space Housing, Fukuoka, Japan, 1991 designed by Steven Holl Architects
From hinged space to the silence of void space. Four active north facing voids interlock with four quiet south facing voids to bring a sense of the sacred into domestic life. To ensure emptiness, the south voids are flooded with water, generating flickering reflections. -- architect's web site

Royal Ballet School: Bridge of Aspiration, London, UK, 2003 designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects
The skewed alignment and different levels of the landing points dictate the form of the crossing, which is geometrically and structurally simple. A concertina of 23 square portals with glazed intervals are supported from an aluminium spine beam. These rotate in sequence for the skew in alignment, performing a quarter-turn overall along the length of the bridge. The result is an elegant intervention high above the street, which evokes the fluidity and grace of dance. -- architect's web site

Liverpool One: Interchange, Bridge and Car Park, Liverpool, UK, 2008 designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects
The Liver Street carpark is built over the bus layover, and connected to the development’s flagship store by an enclosed pedestrian bridge. With a 60m span, the bridge is constructed from fabricated steel plate and is extensively glazed, the materials emphasising its unique ‘folded’ geometric form. -- architect's web site

Linked Hybrid, Beijing, China, 2009 designed by Steven Holl Architects
From the 12th to the 18th floor a multi-functional series of skybridges with a swimming pool, a fitness room, a café, a gallery, auditorium and a mini salon connects the eight residential towers and the hotel tower, and offers spectacular views over the unfolding city. Programmatically this loop aspires to be semi-lattice-like rather than simplistically linear. We hope the public sky-loop and the base-loop will constantly generate random relationships. They will function as social condensers resulting in a special experience of city life to both residents and visitors. -- architect's web site

Te Puni Village, Wellington, New Zealand, 2009 designed by Architectus
The development aligns with the existing University spine and the contours which in turn have informed a 3 building composition which deliberately seeks to break down the mass of the development. The form of the village is shaped by the context.
Three separate accommodation buildings (the Terrace, the Tower and the Edge) respond to the different aspects of the site and are linked by a level containing the communal social spaces, dining hall and administration. -- ArchDaily

Bridge in Vienna, Vienna, Austria, 2009 designed by SOLID architecture
The bridge is enclosed on all sides and connects the two buildings Rennweg 44 and 46 at the fifth upper floor, 17 metres above the Kleistgasse (in the third Vienna district). The span length of the bridge is 22 metres.
Large-area glazed sidewalls make the supporting construction of the bridge, which is arranged inside, visible from the outside, and they make the bridge appear light and transparent. -- ArchDaily

118 Subsidized Dwellings, Offices, Retail Spaces and Garage, Plaza de la Hispanidad, Coslada, Madrid, Spain, 2012 designed by Amann Canovas Maruri
The project aims to offer an attractive urban proposal farther than the mere accumulation of residential units. The decision to divide the volume in four towers around a public raised space that works as a cover for the entrances and commercials in the public ground space turns the building into an urban visible joint that connects different areas in the city. -- ArchDaily
