For this week’s class, we presented a variety of projects. From current event presentations, to book reviews, to presenting our oral history projects, it was a busy Wednesday for all of us and we were inundated with numerous projects to complete.
The current event presentation about the efficacy of cogenerational housing was quite intriguing. I feel that this kind of housing isn’t for everyone, but from an urban planning perspective, this provides numerous advantages. Cogenerational housing can help develop healthy density, increasing the diversity of a multigenerational population within a city. Additionally, this can help save lots of money, seeing as retirement is getting more expensive and there’s lots of unexpected costs that may come along in the future.
Regarding the oral history presentations, I resonated a lot with those who talked about their friends and relatives who were impacted by the American War. Listening to these stories made me think about the stories my mom would share, and it felt unsettling to know that people are still traumatized by the effects of the American War. Aside from this, I really appreciated my classmates’ creativity when they showed their memoirs, and I felt a sense of humanity when I was listening to these humbling yet captivating stories.
