Text by Brad Wheeler:
The vision for post WWII American modernity — to provide simple, inexpensive and architecturally thoughtful single family housing en masse — has finally happened and its exists beneath Tucson’s “A” Mountain.
This AIA-award-winning project, called RESIDENCE ONE, came about thanks to the efforts of The Drachman Design Build Coalition (DDBC), a group created by the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture in an effort to produce prototypical, energy-efficient, low-cost dwellings. “The intention is to disseminate regionally specific design strategies to a broad audience,” says U of A Professor of Architecture Mary Hardin, who worked on the project with Professor John Folan. And now, “the plans are made available to non-profit and for-profit homebuilders,” she says.
