Entry 6: My Ideal Urban Single-Family Dwelling

In class we looked at Safdie's Habitat, which is a creative way for low cost living that takes cues from a deconstructivist architecture.

I brainstormed an ideal living situation for overcrowded areas. This is what I came up with:

Of course there would be more of a structure system to keep them safe and stable. They can be built on top of each other (as seen above) or you can have one single house. The long "poles" are elevators for convenient excess. The idea of having them built up high is to fix overcrowding. It's easier to fit into populated areas and offers more privacy. The sides and top are a big window that can also be covered to block sunlight and bring more privacy. Lastly to abide by deconstructivist architecture, the houses can be arranged in such a way to create an image or symbol.
