URBAN HOUSING

Student Work

INSTRUCTOR: Andrew John Wit

LEVEL: Undergraduate Architecture Studio

DESCRIPTION: In this project, students were examining the typology of multi-generational housing. Although a dwelling for an individual or family can be complex, it becomes exponentially more so when dealing with multiple generations, all with unique needs and constraints.

This project examines not only how a single structure can create stimulating space for babies as well as the elderly, but also consider how a dwelling addresses the surrounding community through public space / program, spaces for work, and commercial spaces for selling.

While the previous exercise utilized morphology, envelope, and the complexities of site as a means of developing programmatic complexity, this project asks how novel forms, spaces and physical adjacencies can emerge through the dialog between program, the needs of the inhabitants, as well as from the projects surrounding context.

Through a series of section specific exercises, each student will develop the tools necessary to create a programmatically and formally robust project.
