To imagine the near future city, the multifamily housing and the community are the project’s focus. “From Monoculture to Manycultures’, aims to introduce strategic interventions to build a connected community that shares knowledge and skills. To break the monoculture of development and construction, the project considers directing enduring benefits to projects and groups that embed value into the community’s physical assets. 

Strategic densification becomes an instrument of building and strengthening connections. Everything here is connected to build the community, and everything is connected by the community. The design combines an array of assemblages that generate multiple scales of interactions. The new program is introduced by building on the existing conditions and potentials, bridging with the fragmented spaces. As spaces and programs are being removed, spatial qualities and functions are being added. The housing units are redistributed and reconfigured to diversify the housing stock, reflecting the family sizes of the community. The in-between space is commodified depending on seasons and events, catalyzing a chain reaction to generate new value through interdependencies. The intervention restructures the municipal capital invested in maintaining, managing, and redeveloping. It is reused through a community barter that encourages residents to manage their neighborhood and find employment opportunities
