For my aggregated housing project, my idea of a “unit” became more than just a single house. I decided to use a language of masses and planes to create spaces and tessellations that fit together efficiently. I experimented with the aggregations of these units by looking at how they can make spaces more private, public, or shared, and the qualities that arise from those decisions. The first focuses on three main shared spaces that are partly enclosed by the units, the second creates a main courtyard surrounded by all units, and the third creates a different mode of circulation, with shared walkways connecting all units above.
During my review, it was hard to get my points across mainly because of the way I approached my project. Most of the comments were directed at my work being more abstract than a practical housing aggregation. While it has qualities to it as a whole maybe I need to think of it in a more practical way where I can focus on each unit individually instead of all at once.
