STUDIO 3A

Inhabiting the Abstract // WSOA // Fall 2018 // Instructor: Anali Gharakhani

Through a critical analysis and comparison of the historical, contemporary, and multi-cultural evolution of house and housing, the studio addresses form and meaning of the dwelling with a discussion that juxtaposes interior vs. exterior space, public vs. private space, community vs. the individual, and traditional vs. non-traditional families. The studio focus is divided between the single-family dwelling and multiple-unit housing typologies.

housing

The design consists of a cluster of 12 dwellings. Multi-housing is a design solution for housing in a neighborhood with little available land to build. The homes range from 700 sq ft studios to 1,000 sq foot 1 bedroom homes. The central courtyard gives a sense of community to the residents and neighborhood while still being enclosed.
