Architectural typologies include the primary components of Slab and Tower. In order to accommodate the densities needed to house the number of people in need of affordable housing, the slab and tower are accepted as a reality of affordable housing developments. This does not mean that slabs and towers cannot be manipulated and formed to create more livable spaces. By using the slab and tower in conjunction with the introduction of the podium, new ways are explored to create a higher quality public realm.
