Transnational Housing Research Project suggests discussions over the transnational living style of Mexican migrants on the two different, but indispensable aspects, architectural and anthropological. From architectural point of view, we analyze architectural styles of migrants' houses including designs, traditional construction processes and structural engineering, especially of those that are constructed in their homeland by the money sent from U.S. At the same time, from anthropological perspective, we focus on social and economic impact that the construction of such houses have on their homeland community, such as a local construction guild, as well as the way of using them. Based on the analyses, we examine what it means to have `houses' to the migrants. As a result, we urge to introduce the interperspective approach to the examination of the ongoing phenomenon of `Transnational Housing' characteristic in the way of living of Mexican migrants.
