Bungalow Backbone Nicholas Earman Lyceum 2020: Belt Tightening - Bungalows for the Millennial Family Faculty Advisor: Terry Boling The Chicago bungalow housing belt has suffered from benign neglect and is crying for systematic change in the form of a highly incremental strategy. Homeownership in the 21st century looks entirely different than it did when the Chicago bungalows were first built in 1910 and this proposal attempts to recognize these differences by introducing affordable customization into the context of urban housing. Whether homeowners are seeking a transition into multi-generational housing, spiking their revenue with rental units, or expanding on their bungalow’s current square footage, the spinal corridor system offers individualized flexibility to any pre-existing or newly built home.
