{HYBRID AS TYPOLOGY} 2011: HYBRID: THE ANTI TYPOLOGY Steven Holl / Joseph Fenton
1933: THE TOWER IN THE PARK LeCorbusier and the Athens Charter
RESULTANT TYPOLOGY: The Hyrbid as an anti-typology cannot easily be classified but has nevertheless emerged, though few and far between. Hybrid theory has yet to take root in the planning of our everyday physical fabric and is limited to big-A architecture projects. Today, the hybrid ‘typology’ is not prevalent in affordable housing.
RESULTANT TYPOLOGY: The separation of functions led to the systematic segregation of dwelling, work and recreation. Housing became isolated from the community and did not respond to the urban grid. The result is a recognizeable typology that has, over the years become a negative icon and has contributed to the prejudices which foster NIMBYism.

USING DESIGN, WE CAN CREATE THE KIND OF INCENTIVE THAT WILL SHIFT THE PUBLIC’S PERCEPTION OF WHAT PUBLIC HOUSING MEANS TO A COMMUNITY. USING POLICY AND LANGUAGE, WE CAN SCULPT THE GUIDELINES WITHIN WHICH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CAN CREATE A DEPLOYABLE MODEL FOR INTEGRATION.

24 HOUR BUILDING
One of the tenets of the hybrid is that through its multi use definition, it can act as a 24-hour building. The activation of the building allows for it to contribute vibrancy to the street and urban fabric beyond the usual time constraints of single use projects.
THE COURTYARD
In the first design, the courtyard acts as both circulation and the public zone. These four spaces are dispersed throughout the ground level and act as hosts to various encounters between the residents and the public.

{HYBRID} TEST 1.0 Designed in response to Steven Holl’s theories of hybridity, the first test is meant to act as the next step in the evolution of public housing typology. The test was then translated into policy text with accompanying diagrams to be interpreted by outside designers. {1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6} {7}
