Overview of the Project:
This proposal seeks funding in the amount of $2000.00 from the Lecturers’ Professional Development Fund (LPDF) to support my William Muschenheim design fellowship project at U of M’s Alfred A. Taubman College of Architecture. The research and design project, which will take place over the course of 5 months, investigates architecture’s role within the sharing economy; particularly as it relates to co-working and co-living. The fellowship project will culminate in a widely circulated public exhibition featuring architectural models, videos and drawings, to be held at the Taubman College Gallery during the last week of March, 2020.
