Design Talk | By the People: Housing for All

Part of a series of Design Talks to accompany the exhibition By the People: Designing a Better America, “Housing for All” addresses the critical importance of providing affordable housing. National Design Award winner Rosanne Haggarty, the president of Community Solutions, and San Francisco–based affordable housing architect David Baker discuss the future of affordable housing in the United States and its importance for our most vulnerable citizens. Responding to California’s housing crisis, Baker’s firm has designed over five thousand units throughout California using a set of elegant, economical, and “human-centric” design principles for place-based affordable housing. Community Solutions’ proposal for retrofitting NYCHA’s Tilden Houses in Brownsville, Brooklyn, provides a blueprint for responding to New York City’s aging and deteriorating public housing.
