The spaces we inhabit, the urban fabric, the interplay between the two: this architectural thesis seeks to explore the many components of a mixed-use project, its relationship to the city, and its use by potential inhabitants.
Through this mixed-use project, many aspects of similar commercial/residential projects in the Washington, D.C. are challenged and rethought. It explores the impact of design on the way people live and work in a city.
Research and analysis include architectural language, the workplace, the urban dwelling, the relationship of these to each other, and the relationship of these to the surrounding context. What follows is the documentation of these explorations, from site analysis to final drawings, and the beginnings of an understanding of how architecture can impact the working and living environments. / Master of Architecture
