Rising Families
SummerTransferProgram2018 Charlottesville, Virginia is a city whose focal point is the University of Virginia, which serves as a characteristic element of its identity. This identity creates a natural void of family-friendly housing arond the area. This design proposes creating a manifestation of the suburb within that urban environment with vast green spaces existing within tiers of common circulation, both creating a “vertical suburb� in the city.
