- Abstract
(Semi)Urbanism: Suburban ideals within an urban context. Slippage:
Movement away from a secure place or memory through a shift in
perception. Hybrid: The ability to overlay two systems to achieve a new
existence which utilizes the best principles from both.
Looking at sustainable alternatives to current suburban development
and the history of stacked housing, (Semi)Urbanism is conceived and
analyzed at the scale of the urban plan and residential architecture in
parallel. It reverses the argument by bringing the suburbs to the city,
rather than the urban to the suburban. Through the methodology of
slippage, which acts at the level of both literal architecture and
speculative art, a product is realized that allows for the suburbanite to
be satisfied in a more dense and urban fabric and for the place of the
in-between of the urban and suburban condition to become blurred and
beautiful.
This is not your grandmother's suburban house.
