Urban Sociology in Architecture: Communal Space & Social Housing
Paris, France
By traveling to Paris, I had the opportunity to not only experience exemplary projects in person, but I was also able to meet with local individuals to understand their personal interpretations. Communal space and social housing are important in terms of how the spatial qualities are directly felt by inhabitants; therefore, it cannot ever completely be understood from afar. Through my explorations, I gained knowledge on how to better implement strategies for similar communities.
