- Abstract
One of the most under used spaces within the urban fabric is the parking lot. In
most cases a parking lot is primarily used during the day light hours of the business week as
it accommodates the suburban commuter. For this reason the following thesis will explore
the possibility of transforming a parking lot in New York City into a structure that can facilitate the needs of both the homeless population and the daily commuter. The proposed
project will attempt to create a space within the city where a homeless individual can feel
a sense of belonging and thus begin to formulate the structure necessary for the creation of
a home. In this way the thesis will outline the creation of a working model for the future
of urban dwelling that addresses the dilemma of participatory urban space and the need for
vehicular storage.
