THE FOLLOWING IS A CONDENSED VERSION OF A YEAR LONG GRADUATE RESEARCH PETITION. THANK YOU FOR READING :)

Architects are able to design and create spaces that change people’s lives for the better. These spaces create patterns. The patterns create cities. Through history patterns have developed, shifted and transformed to what lies in the built world today. To get to the idea of urbanity that we have now, there have been stamps in history, economics, culture and politics that have all built the cities that we live in today. To better understand how a city develops, especially in detail to a residential neighborhood that highlights modernity mixed with historical structures, this booklet illustrates the development of the urban patterning in KC. This booklet studies the neighborhood of Beacon Hill, the advancement of residential design in specific with mid century modern architecture and the development of design-build as a technique in residential design.
