Univercity Living: Strengthening the Relationship Between the City and the University Stephen Townsend

An investigation into the unique relationship between university and city, UniverCity Living seeks to understand this partnership and propose an architectural solution for strengthening it. With the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, and the city of Chattanooga as the basis for discussion, the text proposes a symbiotic living space that spans the divide between city and university. This space would not only serve as a home to students and city residents, but a hub for Chattanooga's educational and business growth. UniverCity Living searches for the natural strengths of both entities and postulates that their combination would benefit both.
