[comfortably numb] A Future Past Again: Reimagining Urban Core Housing ARCH 4002 | SP 002 The goal of this studio is to address housing for marginal income and transitional populations bordering on homeless and individuals in transition. The target population group are individuals and families readjusting to unfortunate circumstances; economic, health, job loss, relocation, or combinations of external forces that have left these individuals without opportunities for adequate housing and shelter. The design challenge is to provide design solutions that reestablish individuals with a self-sustaining lifestyle and opportunities for shelter and dwelling: to provide a vehicle for improving their stature and allow each to contribute to the community and localized environment. Equally important is to design a physical setting for individual identity and self-worth, and community integration; and to impact the physical urban landscape of inter core ‘left over’ spaces with imaginative solutions. This studio occupies the design of individual dwelling units and the assembly of units to create a ‘neighborhood’ of support facilities to bring together a collective relationship for social integration and a sustainable type of urban living utilizing advance technologies for building. site imaging
