This pre-thesis summer research travel, “Post-Fabricated Lifestyles”, takes the position that the design lifecycle of the FEMA trailer continues after its initial production, as residents customize and appropriate the trailers and pubic spaces of the trailer parks to suit their specific lifestyles. The research mapped informal, dynamic, and user-initiated programming observed within the trailer parks visited throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. This micro-urbanism was analyzed in contrast to the static, FEMA-initiated suburban model of programmatic zoning. (Research Travel Grant, Thesis Committee Chair: Milton Curry, Summer 2007)
