Title
Affordance Game: Co-Production of the Multispecies Streetscape
Description
Seoul's low-rise residential neighborhood is a prevalent residential typology second to apartment complexes, yet it significantly lacks public space, parks, and biodiversity. How can we foster a multispecies streetscape within these neighborhoods?

Historically, Seoul's urban strategy has oscillated between preserving the existing urban fabric and redeveloping areas into apartment complexes. This project proposes an intermediary solution that enhances biodiversity and nature accessibility without disregarding the established characteristics of the community.

The "Affordance Game" introduces a collaborative framework for city officials, residents, and property owners to jointly cultivate a multispecies environment. This involves the introduction of a multispecies-focused building code and following housing typologies that extend the streetscape and are conducive to biodiversity.

Haebangchon, a neighborhood at the forefront of Seoul's biodiversity conversation, will serve as the pilot site for this initiative. Through increased stakeholder engagement, strategies developed through this thesis will allow for greater adaptability and tailored design across various low-rise residential areas.
