Abstract
The thesis is a proposal for a community center and residences in Somerville which takes into account three aspects of American residential culture: 1) the changing structure of the traditional family; 2) the changing suburb and the competition with traditional center cities; and 3) the loss of community identity that is a consequence of the first two. The project takes as reference research into the culture of the American neighborhood, suburban or urban, as well as various architectural, programmatic and contextual examples.
