The Porch
Columbia GSAPP Fall 2021, Critic: Eric Bunge
Collaboration work with Priscilla Auyeung
The “porch”:
A place for gathering,
to connect with the outside,
To engage with the street,
Mediator of public & private,
A threshold.

The Porch is a communal block consisting of a porch over apartment towers to search for new and inclusive frameworks for living in the contemporary city. This communal block fosters a seamless shared porch and a dynamic network of interconnected and potentially nuanced relationships. Within this block, various elements such as furniture, building components, rooms, units, shared amenities, and gardens intertwine to form the foundation for social connections.
