    Adapting Lifestyle: The Dwelling
    Thurmond, Alana Christine (Virginia Tech, 2019-07-03)
    With over half the world living in cities there is a need for designing city housing. The DC Office of Planning did a survey on housing that shows a high percentage of 1 to 2-bedroom apartments and shows a lower percentage of 3 to 4-bedroom apartments. Is there a way to design with different housing typologies to accommodate different needs? Mix-use housing and rowhouses are two different housing typologies. Both of these housing typologies are in the fabric of Washington DC. For my thesis I sought out if mix-use housing along with rowhouses could be combined into a design to accommodate peoples changing needs in housing.
