城市致密化常与垂直化、楼层数增加以及既有住宅的拆除重建相关联。‘研究46B’项目则持不同立场：致密化未必意味着建造更高，而在于以更富智慧的方式利用既有空间。该项目源于对一座72平方米车库屋顶的改造利用，将一次微小的住宅扩建转化为一种建筑策略，从而质疑中间型城市中学生住宅及土地利用的既有模式。

Urban densification is often associated with verticality, an increase in levels, and the replacement of existing housing. Estudios 46B presents a different stance: densifying does not necessarily mean building higher, but rather occupying what already exists with greater intelligence . The project arises from utilizing the roof of a 72 m 2 garage, transforming a minimal domestic expansion into an architectural strategy capable of questioning models of student housing and land use in intermediate cities.
