Unpacking concepts of collaborative living and mixed-use typologies, this project investigates how dwelling types can respond to modern household constellations and how the productive and reproductive realms can co-exist both at the urban level and the scale of the dwelling. Research findings are synthesised into an architectural proposal comprising a maker/educational programme and a housing programme, with the latter exploring strategies for inducing social interactions, gaining by sharing and future-proof spatial planning.

The second female architect in the United States, Marion Mahony Griffin contributed substantially to the development of architectural visualisation in the early 1900s. This essay uses the perspective drawing
of the Henry Ford dwelling as a starting point in a discussion on drawing strategies applied by Marion Mahony Grif fin in her renderings. Using elements such as, but not limited to, the linedrawing, the frame and foreign influences, each stylistic element is linked to another Mahony drawing, allowing for a comparative analysis of applied drawing techniques. Along with
each discussion features a detailed description of each drawing, deconstructing the relevant parts of each
composition.
