UNstrip is a 5th year undergraduate architecture thesis project completed by Stephanie Cooper at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, under the direction of Sandy Stannard. The project addresses the shortcomings of the suburban strip mall: few interactions between users, and disconnection between users, building, and the site context. The multi-use design focuses on visual and physical interaction between users, activating the building with different Òlayers of use,Ó embracing environmental practices, and confronting local needs.
