Housing Studio
2026. Housing Studio.
SAID, DAAP, UC
This studio will focus on a large-scale housing project on one of two linear sites in Cincinnati. The proposal centers on a 100-unit dense housing intervention integrated with shared amenities serving both residents and the surrounding urban community. Rather than creating a singular tower or landmark, the studio will explore low-rise, high-density housing strategies organized as a continuous “housing-scape” — a mat-building or field-condition approach to multiple dwelling units (MDUs).
In this studio, AI is explored not only as a visualization tool, but also as an analytical design agent for evaluating solar exposure, wind, noise, daylighting, and carbon-neutral strategies during the early stages of design. AI is also used to generate conceptual sketch models that support rapid design exploration and iteration.
