Abstract
dc:description.abstractArchitecture can provide unique, experiential spaces at varying sizes. In situations of housing scarcity or lack of affordability, design becomes imperative in crafting spaces that, while spartan and minimal, allows for variation and individuality to arise. In the context of an urban intervention, architecture can unite the city and the people by offering space for the city and creating an active community for its occupants. This thesis uses a micro-apartment complex in Chicago overlooking a park and elevated subway tracks to show how architecture and design can provide dignified spaces of any size.
