Abstract
Understanding public housing means that the object of study is allowed to present itself in a myriad of forms; spoken words, letters, activities, physical appearance, documents, artistic murals, and statistics. All these modes of expression portray an ambivalent place composed of conflicting meanings and values. Public housing absorbs and alienates; it is a potential center for social organization, but more often than not it encourages social disintegration. Eventually, it suggests opposing values: one seeks its dispersion as a spatial entity, while the other favors spatial concentration with social changes.-from Authors
