4. Clover House


Allapattah, Miami
Project at Harvard GSD
In Association with Miami Knight Foundation
Conceptualized 2022


    This project aims to facilitate connection and interaction between different groups of Allapattah residents in this apartment complex. Living in an apartment usually means isolation. It is even harder for retired seniors to live alone retirement.



    In Allapattah, there are many seniors living in single unit public housing. Given this existing condition, I want to create a special community for seniors and families with school children. I want to overlap seniors’ retired lives and young families’ busy work schedules in order to create a strong sense of social connections and community engagement.




   

    This device produces collages based on the rotation angles of different images. The “layering of views” is the theme I want to explore. The idea of “being the background and foreground” can facilitate visual connection of the residents.



    The “layering of views” shows the configuration needed in order to produce the collages below. The different angles of the photo frames is shown in dotted lines and the project uses the generated divided space to explore the idea of community engagement through visual layering of views.
