Project Description: Rethinking the relation between existing infrastructure and socially responsive Architecture with city planning. To create a flexible network system that services the needs of the people in a sustainable way in improving society and the built environment. My mission for this project is to provide a sense of comfort and reliable spaces throughout Los Angeles by providing residential amenities for the public. By separating residential amenities, it gives a user walking by the opportunity to have a temporary place to eat, sleep, or bathe. Simultaneously, the stacking of the structures is economical and creates gaps that provide natural airflow throughout the space and walkways. Overall, human necessities are important for one's mental and physical health.
