Nomadics

An experimental housing project based on the board walk of Venice California.  The projects capitalizes on the community's needs to eradicate recreational vehicles on the streets and place them into a new structure. Looking into the history and culture of Venice were nomadic people tend to loiter and so do their vehicles, a structure that could articulate and combine these two conditions was needed. Taking a new approach to social housing the structure is developed by the constraints and mobility limitations of the R.V. By calculating the Length and the Radii of a class C R.V. the main program was developed. On the North facing side of the project ,the addition of new 10' x15' dormitories were inserted and then angled to the same position as the parked R.V. In the Residual spaces of the project the addition of Office share studio was taken into consideration to emphasizes this idea of the nomad.
