Balanced privacy in student residence design: Developing a framework for evaluating privacy and socialization of co-living environments
The effect of on- and off-campus housing on academic performance and student satisfaction in Toronto
This study examines the possible effects of on-campus housing and other living situations on university student academic performance and satisfaction using a robust panel dataset comprising academic records of 750,000 students across four universities in Toronto from 2007 to 2018, where student enrolment has outpaced on-campus housing provision. Complementary cross-sectional NSSE survey data provides additional insights into commuting time and ed…
Informing the Informal: Examining the Morphological Production of Informal Built Landscape Types
Informal and formalized settlements present unique forms of informality that are significant for research on the urban development of cities in the Global South. This study adds to the body of research on informal settlements by adding methodological tools to analyze the implicit rules of informal urban areas from a typo-morphological perspective. To ground this research, this article examines the urban morphology of informal built landscapes in …
Language matters: Types of informal built landscapes in global metropolitan regions
This article analyses informal built landscapes in nine fast-growing global cities across diverse geo-political regions using historical maps, aerial photographs, and field visits. This empirical study investigates the urban form of informal built landscapes, identifying 10 main patterns of urban form in settlements created in the 1970–2020 period. This period was characterized by rapid spatial expansion of informal settlements. These trends rais…
Affordability is king–with private bedroom: Exploring the mismatch of students’ housing preferences in constrained housing markets
As Generation Z young adults are entering post-secondary education, little is known about the role of affordability in understanding these students’ housing preferences. For this purpose, we introduce a methodology, the Housing Preferences Choice Board (HPCB), mimicing conditions of expensive rental markets. This paper seeks to elucidate students’ decision-making concerning housing (including location, commuting to campus, amenities, etc.) under …
Not Your Parents’ Dorm Room: Changes in Universities’ Residential Housing Privacy Levels and Impacts on Student Success
New student residence halls are being built to meet students’ demands and needs, creating complex living units that prioritize private spaces over social group spaces despite potential negative impacts on student success and well-being. This study examines all university residences located in a large urban center in Northern America, quantifying students’ different levels of privacy in living units classified by the Housing Unit Classification (H…
New student residence unit typologies: Introducing Housing Unit Classification (HUC), a framework for understanding student socialization
When students are house-poor: Urban universities, student marginality, and the hidden curriculum of student housing
Privacy Territories in Student University Housing Design: Introduction of the Hierarchy of Isolation and Privacy in Architecture Tool (Hipat)
Students' privacy expectations in university housing have increased, a change that has been reflected in universities shifting from traditional units to increasing numbers of apartments and suites. This study examines privacy and territories in student university housing architecture, using architectural plans of 76 residences, relating the socialization of university students to their academic success by bringing together various literatures-stu…
Developing occupant-based understandings of crowding: A study of residential self-assessment in Eabametoong First Nation
Neglected? Strengthening the Morphological Study of Informal Settlements
Methods of articulating the morphological structure of slums can have considerable potential in better planning for site-specific design or policy responses for these areas in the contemporary city. Although urban morphology traditionally studies landscapes as stratified residues with distinct divisions between lot and boundary, built and unbuilt, the authors find these definitions insufficient to address the complexity of slum morphology. Throug…
