URBAN VILLAGE

The Urban Village Project is an unbuilt project by Effekt in which a modular building system is implemented to provide affordable and livable homes in the urban environment. The project considers sustainability, affordability, and social equity and is intended for use in any urban site. It is focused on the residential environment and proposes a series of seven different residential typologies for use in a modular system, including studio, single, couple, family, duplex, shared, and rowhouse. These are demonstrated through a series of small, cut-away renderings to exhibit the different residential conditions inside. 111

This project serves as a precedent for the representational and programmatic aspects of the thesis design project. The designation of the seven residential typologies will be a guiding feature of the residential prototypes completed in this thesis project, with adaptations made to create stand-alone residential typologies, in addition to modular ones. The representational style of this project will also be referenced in the final delivery of the thesis drawings, to assist in displaying the completed residential prototypes for each of the seven typologies.
