Aim
The Aim of this project was to design a communal housing complex that would host various classes of residents, ranging from students to families. I worked with 3 other collegues and the site given was in Ferrara, Italy as seen below. The space was 38000 sqm large and good consideration had to be given on how the master plan would look in relation to the neighbouring buildings.
