Streets littered with construction waste, debris cluttering the outskirts of our cities, tons and truckloads of material going into landfills. Architecture leaves in its wake a mound full of waste, and we as architects seem to be happily oblivious of this. This redevelopment housing project proposal looks to create a cycle of recovery, both in the process of the demolition of the existing structure as well as the future redevelopment of the newly built.
Creating this cycle of recovery and reuse though is not seen as a separate entity, but rather works in tandem with a host of other concerns within the realm of housing. The units are themselves configured to create a connect with the outside, to blur the lines between the interior and the exterior, and to break away from the fixed spaces usually found in apartments, by creating one large ambiguous space within each home.
