Urban Identity
How design shapes and expresses the character of cities and communities through built environment and cultural interventions.
Urban identity examines the relationship between place, people, and design. It explores how architectural and spatial interventions can reinforce local character, foster community connection, and respond to the specific conditions of a city or neighborhood.The community investigates identity through adaptive reuse and social housing, mobile and modular approaches to urban culture, and tactical design strategies that weave together fragmented urban systems. Work ranges from infrastructure that connects transit networks to interventions that activate peripheral zones and support local economies.
