New Middles: Documenting Intermediate Scale Housing in the Texas Triangle

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): James Michael Tate

In physical form, legal framework, and mindset, Texas has long privileged an atomized unit-based approach to housing. Horizontally dispersed subdivisions are the dominant fabric. Recently, however, more urban settling patterns are gradually transforming downtown districts and surrounding neighborhoods in Texas’ largest cities. Housing types in Texas are becoming more diverse. During the past two and half years, my efforts have become more focused on documenting and designing dwelling typologies that explore an intermediate scale of multi-unit housing. In Texas these exist as New Middles.
