Acts of Design: New Housing Paradigms in North America

This day-long conference at Columbia GSAPP assesses the current state of housing in North America through a combination of case-studies and expanded thematic discussions among architects, academics and advocates. The conference specifically focuses on new housing typologies in Mexico City and designing across scales in cities spanning Toronto, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. A concluding panel discussion with Columbia GSAPP’s faculty will reflect on their respective housing projects as well as the pedagogical evolution of the school’s longstanding Housing Studio.

Participants include Jorge Ambrosi, Michael Bell, Tatiana Bilbao, David Brody, Fernanda Canales, Gabriela Etchegaray, Adam Frampton, Simon Hartmann, Hans Ibelings, Lisa Yun Lee, Reinhold Martin, Marc Norman, Anna Puigjaner, Lorcan O’Herlihy, and Brigitte Shim.
Organized by Hilary Sample. And the conference is free and open to the public, with registration recommended for all attendees and required for those seeking AIA Credit or equivalent CES credits.
