dc.description.abstractLos Angeles is landlocked but its population continues to grow steadily. These conflicting geographic and demographic pressures have created a unique low-rise, high-density suburbanism; a car-centric region with a major housing shortage and an acute lack of public parks. Like Downtown mega-projects and illegal garage apartments, this project houses new population growth by intensifying land currently dedicated to car storage. However, this thesis proposes a distributed model for densification that creates both new housing and new parks throughout the Los Angeles region. Focusing on the suburban city of Alhambra, this project is sited on a large supermarket parking lot. It replaces surface parking with a new park and adds eighty housing units while still accommodating the high automobile density lifestyle currently found in Southern California.
