ARCH 342: Future Hawai’i: Urban Dwelling Studio

This third-year undergraduate studio explored future possibilities for urban dwelling in Honolulu. An existing 16-acre lot located in a future transit-oriented district, and currently owned by the Hawaiʻi Public Housing Authority was reimagined. Investigations included site analysis, precedents, typologies, density studies, and numerous massing iterations of low, medium, and high-density alternatives. Final designs promoted healthy living, sustainability, outdoor connections, cultural traditions and proposed a diversity of innovative living spaces at a variety of urban scales.
