Collective Housing

ARCH 201: Architecture Studio 3 (Fall 2022)

Instructor: Rudab eh Pakravan Individual Work, 2022.09-12

The project is a collective housing, which is generated from the observations of Broadway, Oakland, CA. Staring off from the urban experience when standing at the Broadway. The design further developed from a conceptual chunk model of foam. And then it expanded and grown into a collective housing.

The design is a townhouse which consisted of 45 units in the site area of 0.8 acre. It is featured in bringing both sides of views of Broadway together. By providing a unique and vivid living condition, it aims to further challenge the rigid city grid.
