The project approaches the rowhouse typology as an important component of the physical fabric, collective memory and urban identity of Baltimore. In Historic East Baltimore, partially or entirely abandoned blocks are being leveled and redeveloped into new housing and conventional commercial buildings. In order to maintain its viability as a housing type and perpetuate an urban identity in Baltimore, the rowhouse is adapted and redeveloped to better support community needs and provide programmatic variation. The site is comprised of 52 rowhouse lots between 1,000 and 1,500 sf in size. Public program is introduced to the block without destroying the structural system, the inherent architectural logic or the rowhouse facade. The thesis project reforms the individual rowhouse, the block and the neighborhood in order to stimulate the area and perpetuate an urban collective memory. The transformation hopes to inform how redevelopment in American cities can reuse rather than replace urban rowhouse blocks.
