The Suburb of Restraint: A New Form of Dwelling for Merced, CA

The Central Valley is the fastest growing region in California, continuously expanding in a bid for cheap land. At the center of this growth is Merced, a town that has become a hub of regional importance thanks to its new University of California campus. Although Merced is expanding primarily through single-family housing, this project provides an alternative model for suburban living. By proposing a linear megastructure, a sub-urban corridor connecting the university to the city functions as both housing and public transportation. The interior typology accommodates the various needs of Merced’s workforce, consisting of people who work physically demanding jobs and intellectual laborers in the university. On the top floor, a publicly accessible shuttle creates a direct mode of transportation independent of automobiles. This form of suburban dwelling creates an alternative community with minimal impact on the land. The project imagines a space where students, farm workers, stay-at-home parents, small business owners, tradespersons, children, the elderly, homeboys, tenured professors (adjuncts too) and anyone open to a new form of living are welcomed in and given a space of their own.

This project was created as a Master of Architecture thesis project at the University of California Berkeley under the guidance of Maria Alvarez Garcia and Georgios Eftaxiopoulos.

The post Concert Band Performance appeared first on ÂÜÀòÉç.

Dates: November 11th – December 13th

Reception and Artist Talk: Tuesday, November 12th at 4:30pm in the Carlson Tower Gallery.

Mat Rappaport is an artist and filmmaker known for works that utilize mobile video, performance, and photography to explore habitation, mass-tourism, perception, and power as related to built environments. In treatments, Rappaport reflects on his partner’s cancer journey through clinical spaces while challenging the conventional use of art in healthcare settings, where images are often chosen to provide superficial comfort. By reimagining these works through photo and video installations, he proposes a new way of thinking about art’s role in these environments—not as a passive backdrop but as a means to engage with the emotional realities of patients and their families. 

Rappaport’s work has been exhibited in the United States and internationally in museums, galleries, film festivals, and public spaces. Recent projects have been featured during EXPO Chicago, the Chicago Architecture Biennial in 2019 and 2017, Anniversary of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice, Italy, and 2018 Ann Arbor Film Festival and performances with the Range Mobile Lab at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the Block Museum at Northwestern University.
