Listen Closely! is a proposal that encourages community through spatial organization while highlighting identity and agency through design. Situated in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, this project provides a temporary housing solution for immigrants and refugees. Drawing from the historic buildings that populate this neighborhood, the design is populated with motifs remniscent of colonial style rowhouses. Each building is constructed of native Philadelphia materials and surrounds a centralized, private courtyard. Using a townhome typology, the site is occupied with eleven buildings that utilize the narrow structural profile found in rowhouses to maximize square footage and efficient building processes. To initiate a sense of agency and individuality for inhabitants within the overall scheme, traditional rooftop styles are defamiliarized to provide each resident with their own unique buliding and floor plan. This project benefits both its residents and the surrounding community - it implements multifunctional creative spaces throughout, but more specifically educational workshops that are meant to allow residents the opportunity to interact with others, both at the local scale and that of greater Philadelphia. With these programs, residents are also capable of developing a skillset that has the potential to benefit the surrounding neighborhood.
