We're working with a different type of architectural agency this spring. Taking examples from communities who have appropriated space in various ways; either modification of the modernist frame or the literal taking or contestation of space.
Below are some examples from our studies.
1. LeCorbusier's system of housing in Pessac, France from the 1920's:
2. Appropriation of empty urban lots in Brazil:
3. Cite Verticale in Casablanca:
This blog will document areas of discourse and architecture/urban achievements occurring in the master's program at Cornell's AAP in Ithaca, NY. While it will feature many students' work, I would like for it to maintain a discursive focus, illucidating the theoretical objectives of the work occuring here.

Is this project something like transforming a precedent into a design problem? What is the context of these studies within the studio?
