Outside-In: A Hybrid Domestic Typology

Description
-
With the increasing phenomenon of global migration and cultural diffusion today, fundamental questions of integration and assimilation remain an ongoing theme in the United States. Immigration has emerged as a very decisive, yet sharply divisive, topic in the U.S., with the country experiencing repeated waves of hostility toward immigrant populations, often viewed as a threat to the integrity of the nation’s culture.
These triggering conditions for change require that current policies and practices be adapted to facilitate the integration of new immigrants into American society. That said, can social change be achieved through the mechanism of housing? Housing and immigration are both divisive issues, but addressing changing needs through focusing on common values can result in the advancement towards a more equitable and inclusive future.
Sited in Dearborn, Michigan, housing the country’s largest Arab American population, the project aims to create a new domestic typology, addressing the unique needs of the community. The proposal aims to apply lessons learned from the MENA domestic fabric, integrating notions of privacy, interiority, and density with existing American typologies. The project addresses new ways of thinking about sharing and ownership, and attempts to attempts to address two starkly different domestic urban conditions, with very different ideas of what a home should look like.
