Adam Fure, Tess ClancyThe Form Studio investigates the relationship between building form and social formation.
The site is a neighborhood block of formerly zoned single-family plots that the students rethink in terms of how space can be shared rather than divided. In addition to learning basic concepts of site design, such as circulation, core-periphery, scalar relationships, etc., students are asked to think critically about how space is allocated at the scale of city planning, allowing them to critically examine problematic notions such as “private property” and single-family zoning.
Through their work, students come to understand form in a multitude of ways, from the abstract relationships of geometry and space to the concrete effects of the built environment on social relations.
