m.arch 2 arch 700: senior research studio i instructors: wil d. marquez and michael mondo This project is a template for redevelopment of a section of NW Goldberg, Detroit that looks to provide a new community infrastructure based on urban agriculture.
This urban agriculture foundation will be used as a base for healthcare, senior housing, smallbusiness, and community programming. In that, this project will look to leverage the power of existing neighbourhood medical institutions while creating a level of street activation and vibrancy that can empower both NW Goldberg’s existing form and fuel its future development.

m.arch 2 /WASP COMPONENT AGGREGATION arch 700: senior research studio i instructor: sumer singh
This studio is a work integrated learning studio with Sumer Singh at Mercedes and Singh. Research was done by Jessica Adamson, Shelby Christensen Gurkaran Dhaliwal, Xuefei Wang.
“Designing out the standard, a guide to mass customization in architecture”, is a semester-long research project which has created a framework for digitizing prefabricated hybrids and utilizes technology to develop mass customization in architecture.
This research and design of a digital toolkit is to demonstrate the potential of mass customization and its ability to flatten disciplines; creating a stronger connection between fabrication and design. This project is important as it uses various scales, aesthetics, and develops a framework for an adaptable digital toolkit.
