On my own I explore ideas for housing, museums, and small commercial spaces.  Most potential sites do exist, but are only vaguely referenced in the designs.  The commercial and civic concepts generally occur within city limits or along developed neighborhood streets.   Most of the housing concepts find inspiration in the unused portions of urban rooftops or in isolated, rural areas.  The Rooftop Squat, which takes advantage of an otherwise poorly used space, represents the most developed concept in the series.  Multiple sections form each unit, each section with several components: roof, wall, and floor, all sized to be transported on a flatbed truck.  On site a hoist can lift the components to the roof for assembly.  In one iteration, recycled plastics form the shell of the modular structure; extruded and filled with insulation, the sections key and clip together for stability.  In another iteration, recycled plastics and organic materials merge to form the shell of the modular structure, but this time constructed in a much more typical, layered fashion.
