Project Narrative The design is aimed at the Mexican agricultural migrant affordable housing case in California, USA, which must take into account many aspects of the dignity of immigrants and their economic situation. I think the most important part is how to enable Mexican migrant workers to maintain their own unique lifestyle and cultural focus in the American life model. So, public space will be the most important thing in my project. I consider the various social activity patterns of Mexicans. I want to create a space which can be defined by residents. In the processes from undefinition to self-definition, the mobility and customization of shared space in the community can be improved. In this case, the community can be a safe and accommodating field for the migrant. And I use containers to build up this project, because containers are cheaper and more efficient than other materials. On the other hand, when the containers are broken someday, it’s easy to be scrapped. The wreckage can be recycled almost one hundred percent.
