What happened
Lewis, a fourth-year architecture student at the University of Arizona, and four classmates are addressing the challenge of homeownership affordability. They proposed converting vacant big-box retail buildings across Tucson into small-scale factories. These factories would produce components for new homes, which could then be assembled on surrounding paved parking lots.

Why it matters
The proposal offers a conceptual solution to the high cost of housing by suggesting a localized, factory-based approach to construction. This method aims to place new residents near existing transit and community services.
