Structure for Habitation

Abstract

The following project involves the design of a series of row houses at Broce street in the town of Blacksburg. The proposed scheme can be described as a line of units that are parallel to the street. Though the project deals with issues that are related to housing at the scale of the unit as well as at the scale of the collective whole, the underlying concern is the issue of habitation in architecture. With this project I will propose architecture that encourages the individual to participate in the making of the living environment, and at the same time address habitation in terms of structure and meaning.
