This thesis explores an architectural housing solution for the middle income sector of the United States.
The impetus for this exploration is founded in the conviction that housing must respond to the desires and needs of its occupants. An understanding of these desires and needs was discerned through studying the background of housing. Based on this background and current observations, clustering houses is an appropriate and necessary strategy for the middle-income sector.
To investigate this strategy, a design was executed and used as a vehicle to explore the architecture of cluster housing. The success of this strategy and my opinions on issues raised in this design response are discussed. Neither this discussion, nor this thesis, is intended to be a definitive statement on housing. / Master of Architecture
