Distributed Housing

| Affordable housing within a university setting is already a difficult issue, but integration into the campus itself is a much harder one. For a campus, especially one as disjunctive as UTS’ urban embedded model one can often mistake it for an extension of the city rather than having character of its own.

Some may see it logical that the campus housing act as any other but through the studio one must look further into the specificites called on by student life; Providing housing beyond the stale typology often demonstrated by for profit housing establishments of overpriced closets. At the very least if you are to supply no more than a box to live in that space must be extended by the environment it inhabits.

The project focuses on student lead affordable homes that can move and fluctuated to fill the leftover spaces of the university campus as a micro-favela typology. Part improvised housing and through modular design, offers multiple programs on top of diet domesticity.
