多户经济适用房

Multi-Family Affordable Housing

I found this quote presenting the complexity of designing affordable housing during the research portion of the semester and referenced it throughout the design process:

“This is particularly true in the area of housing where one is dealing with

social and spatial issues,

and

issues of the economy and technology, issues of the street and urban space, play and leisure,

and

security.

All of these things have to be solved.

If one can explicitly state these issues in a way that is acceptable to people, you can begin to understand the

layers of meaning

and the problems which you’ve set yourself to solving.”
