Includes bibliographical references.
The shell is inherited from the city, not literally but psychically. It is an urban design response that relates to my sense of the neighborhood: its history, its growth, and its ability to provide opportunity in so many different forms within its overall continuity. The inhabitation is personal artistic expression: nest, home, and place within the neighborhood. It needs to satisfy body and mind, physical and aesthetic senses. The juxtaposition of these two elements is every person's journey to find their place in the world, between self and society. This design project is part of my journey toward finding a place between a piece of the city and a personal set of notions about physical space.

<Abstract>The shell is inherited from the city, not literally but psychically. It is an urban design response that relates to my sense of the neighborhood: its history, its growth, and its ability to provide opportunity in so many different forms within its overall continuity. The inhabitation is personal artistic expression: nest, home, and place within the neighborhood. It needs to satisfy body and mind, physical and aesthetic senses. The juxtaposition of these two elements is every person's journey to find their place in the world, between self and society. This design project is part of my journey toward finding a place between a piece of the city and a personal set of notions about physical space.</Abstract>
