This thesis seeks to re-establish the necessity for specialized, figured spaces. Through the lens of the domestic sphere, the rooms become chambers of reflection, contemplation, and intimacy. The architecture is inspired by spatial hierarchies of carving, that is to say, labyrinthine undergrounds that are highly articulated through figure, and represent a sacred procession, a ritual, a journey. Historically, this introduces the spatial organizations of the Danteum, and of Peter Eisenman's house studies. The architecture is always reflective of an enfilade of discrete elements, highly idiosyncratic and articulated to show what lies within. The architecture is localized and intimate. The spatial reading of the space is to be recognized as being within a family of discrete figures, each one serving their inhabitants differently. This thesis is a counterargument to flexibility, as it stands rigidly within a grid, carved from the immaterial, an object in itself. Yet to preserve the sacred thresholds of each room, there are hints of animation, placements of objects that seemingly are derived from the will of the character. It is in this way that architecture informs space typologies, how life can be situated within figures as a microcosm, seemingly localized.

Full textThis ethnography is the product of fourteen months of communication with residents of a squatter settlement near Somerset West in the Western Cape. The thesis explores the ways in which domestic relationships altered over the research period, locating these changing patterns in the contexts of informal settlement in the region. I show that in the context of the settlement the use of household as an analytic term was problematic because domestic relationships were fluid and ephemeral, making it difficult to establish patterns of 'belonging' over time. Network approaches are more effective than household in describing social relationships, but networks were also problematic in that they tend to assume patterns of reciprocity which were not always echoed in the behaviours of residents of Die Bos. The thesis concentrates on three main areas of social interaction. I explore labour relationships within and between households, showing that a focus solely on households obscures the processes of labour allocation within domestic units, and those which occur across their (permeable) boundaries. I examine changing patterns of commensality among some members of the population of Die Bos, showing how movement and labour were intimately linked with eating patterns. Here I show how the most effective way of describing these patterns is in terms of networks of informal interaction which are formalised briefly. I then discuss of how movements of certain sections of the population render the boundaries of domestic units extremely permeable. I conclude by showing that although the notion of household is useful in some contexts in describing interactions in Die Bos, it tends to assume too much homogeneity and constancy to describe accurately the fluidity of social relationships. Network approaches are possibly of greater use in such descriptions, but are shown to be problematic in that they assume constancy (although of a lesser degree than households do) in interaction.

Housing today has little do with architecture. Design is a currency of services, while housing today is intensively packaged as a consumer good. It is packaged with land as speculative real-estate, and bundled abstractly into mortgage-backed securities for trade in global investment markets. Both strategies allow people of ordinary means to assume it's monumental cost. Because so very few can buy housing outright, it is built by debt and for debt. This thesis proposes an alternative, in which the critical role of mortgage-financing is directly supplanted by a new set of incremental residential design services. It proposes that middle and low income housing can be not only paid for, but also designed and built during occupancy. Proposed as the centerpiece of a new mode of professional architectural practice, this flexible timeline facilitates reconsideration of housing's materials, labor logistics, and constructional methodologies. The same timeline can accommodate its individual owners' changing needs throughout a progressively tailored and domestically integrated process. Though rental markets may fluctuate, credit scores plummet, mortgage qualifications creep, and income-inequality may intensify, incremental design services can pin the production of housing to that irrespectively distributed and far more egalitarian commodity of time. Given more or less time, these can serve both middle and low income households at equal and unsubsidized standards. The structure of this thesis first elaborates and quantifies the underlying need and argument for designed incremental housing in the United States. It then explores the enabling strategies, attitudes, and issues that arise surrounding three distinct design exercises. These each comprise an approximately eighty thousand dollar magnitude of cash expense, but diverge in value by articulating design logistics as a parallel currency. They are respectively urban, suburban, and rural in setting. They are tailored to a plausibly fictitious clientele of respectively high, middle, and low incomes, and so adopting HUD's definition of affordable housing costs as 30% or less of household income, are conducted in the course of three, six, and twelve years respectively. Their single and central commonality is a complete prohibition of paper debt.

This thesis explores housing through the filter of enabling, an Elizabethan word which has come to be associated with inhabitant empowerment. It proposes the existence of basic cultural, economic and constructional as well as formal categories of enabling. Such characteristics are observable and describable; in so doing, we develop schemata both for rational decision-making and also for judging the performance effectiveness of architectural moves. We also become better designers through reengaging our chaotic environment. This means understanding those biases which prevent us from recognizing the inherent good fit between inhabitant needs and desires, and environments like the Levittowns. Enabling Housing is the culmination of a design research, one which engages design as a tool for understanding. Building upon specific common typologies -the row house, the suburban house and the courtyard house-"developed models" were explored to more fully understand type and its role in low-cost housing. In each iteration, enabling character was enhanced or implemented through evident capacity for use change and transformation; strategic material placement; referential clues about potential transformation; and fractal opportunistic response to specific conditions like site. Formally, the thesis proposes transforming imageable schematic typologies to generate starter dwellings--housing which grows. Specifically, it examines implications in the architectural design of extremely low-cost housing with minimal initial square footage and large unfinished volumes - a basic approach of the Levittowns. The design process thus begins with a modelled type, a recombinant configuration of robust dimensions, systems and logics of assemblage and construction. The actual starter home then results from builder and inhabitant and site transformations of the abstracted type. Additional formal, material and referential clues designed into the dwelling's systems support subsequent incremental growth. On a broader level, two more general areas of inquiry focused the research: domesticity as a cultural artifact, and exploration of chaology, the nascent science which already has shattered our confidence in LaPlacian models at many levels wherein they had been implicitly assumed to be operative. Recognition of chaos, sensitive dependence upon initial conditions and the limits of predictive control models like master plans have brought many questions to bear upon architectural practice. In the last section of this thesis, we outline the changing paradigm as it is emerging.

Beyond the Kitchen aims to propose an alternative view of thinking suburbia by suggesting the cultural and spatial consideration of its domesticity. Therefore, the thesis initiates by hypothesizing upon suburbia's contemporary popularity and proceeds through the understanding of the ranch-style typology as well as the urban and cultural forces that are at play. In this light, the research attempts to answer the following question: Can we find alternative, suburban models of living? The rationale behind this work lies in the recognition that the mid-century ranch-style house still characterizes the everyday life of the majority of suburban residents. To theorize a proposal of this nature, this thesis a) performs an instigation of the above-mentioned typology's various domestic facets and b) grounds a design proposal in Lakewood, California. The thesis begins with the proposition that the postwar ranch-style typology was a commodity, and chapter one is dedicated to an analysis of this position. By focusing on the suburban development of the city of Lakewood as a case study, my analysis reveals the methods through which the studied typology was commodified. This process, I argue, was threefold and involved: the myth of 'California Dreaming," the construction techniques used for the building of the modem ranch-style, and the use of patter catalogs for its marketing. Bound upon this recognition of commodification and hypothesizing on television's increasing popularity after the Second World War, the second part of the research asks: In a historical period steeped in technological innovation and progress, how did television influence the organization of the interior space of the suburban house? The third part of the thesis is dedicated to the analysis between aspects of commodification and spectacle, focusing on the domestic areas of ranch-style's kitchen and front lawn. Methodologically, the thesis draws evidence from literature, archival research, online surveys, site visits, interviews, and the design proposal. It employs drawing in three ways: for archival material analysis, for argument augmentation, and for design implementation. With its design, the research investigates the possibility of two strategies: the restructuring of the suburban domestic space and the reconsideration of the plot's property line. Conditioned upon this apparatus, a new domestic suburban form comes to question-among other design exercises-the possibility of a collective living project.
