Design Concepts

Students in the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning course Architectural Design VII examine special topics in architecture of advanced scale and complexity, including aesthetic concerns, comprehensive building design, housing, community design, urban design, historic preservation and conservation, sustainability, digital technology, and other advanced experimental design methods. The Fall 2022 design studio, led by Associate Professors Ellie Abrons and Meredith Miller, produced seven design approaches for this site, each adopting a different strategy for the kind of residential community served, site layout and density, unit types and plan organizations, and massing/building design.
