To create a community with interactive in- between space which has a variety of spatial layers to promote the communication between dwellers.

Hab-I-tation: Ruimte voor individuele expressie

A Graduation Design at the department of Architecture - Dwelling studio: At home in the city.

My design proposal is for a new fragment of the patchwork...
