Married Student Housing for the University of Virginia
“The “Twentieth Century Brick” can be constructed with outward folding parts permitting the 12-foot limit in width imposed on highway transport to be increased to 28-feet. This enable two two-bedroom apartments to be incorporated in a single unit, 28X60 ft. These units are disposed in a cascading system down the hill, allowing the roof of one to become the terrace of the one above. The city fathers of Charlottesville prevented it from being built, not the trade unions, building codes, fire marshal or cost, the usual demons in such matters. ”
