Abstract Details

2020, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Poche, the black part of an architectural plan divides the plan into two distinct zones, the black and the white. These zones represent the solids and the open space. The American single-family dwelling has become a building typology constructed to house a family along with their stuff. Their stuff takes up space and begins to bleed into the poche of the house. Buildings can be defined by their layers of site, structure, skin, services, space plan, and stuff. These layers hold varying longevity and impact the adaptation of the building over time. These building components are layers of the poche, often appearing permanent but are flexible to varying degrees. The poche creates physical space that molds the household’s activities just as the household molds the space. The components of building are assembled to create space, and space in the dwelling is defined as components of the house, each holding unique functions. These functions of domesticity are supported by a series of these layers, including stuff, space plan, and services. Assembling the house as a series of components allows full integration of building layers into modules of function. This thesis seeks to develop a strategy of prefabricated components to create single-family housing. Through the lens of poche, a series of components of domesticity are defined. The composition of these components into modules of use, both public and private, creates unique layouts throughout a neighborhood setting.
