(alt. phx) this project is a rejection of mass consumer culture; it instead idealizes the return to nature. it is a city located outside of phoenix in 2070 by saguaro lake. the units are designed to house eight individuals in order to support communal living. the project features a vibrant roofscape with areas for gathering and gardening. the housing bar is located in the upper levels of the city to allow for light and air and the other programming of the city (entertainment, infrastructure, etc.) falls below. while the exoskeleton of the building is primarily concrete, the interior is made out of wood so as to be customized by the users. the shell remains, while the interior is in flux.
