STUDIO THEME

Community and Privacy through Tall yet Non-Isolationist Architecture

APPROACH

The goal of this studio was to explore design strategies for

value-based housing by designing a liveable place for the community

that creates a balance in people's live-work-play-eat-shop aspects.

Site Study.

 

Initially, a site study of 100 acres was done in groups to understand the context and its importance to society and users.
