Specifically Generic
The following section catalogues the typologies of southern Ontario’s suburban landscapes across multiple scales. It outlines the role and rigidities which individual building systems play within the assemblage of a single house, and how those rigidities create limiting affordances when adapting individual houses. It then looks at the cumulative effect which those rigidities and permanencies have on transforming neighbourhoods to understand what possibilities are feasible.
