By definition, temporary housing is designed for temporary occupancy. However, for people who have been displaced from their homes, “temporary” often fails to meet their needs. Our communal housing project explores how form can afford a space for collective living, capable of rapidly fluctuating levels of occupancy relative to community need. A shelter meant to become a permanent home but also a permanent home that can provide shelter. Three clusters, each with different formal languages overlapping at points of intersection and entry, all revolve around a collective green space, and central mission of providing housing to those in need.
