Dignified Affordable Housing

Monday, January 07, 2008

There are a number of architects and non-profit organizations working to create dignified affordable housing that can improve people’s lives. Three of them share their personal projects and experiences with affordable housing: Marianne Cusato, created Katrina Houses for the Gulf Coast, Andrew Bernheimer, worked on green low-income apartments in East New York, and Lori Girvan of Common Ground, a non-profit that places people in lower income houses and owns several buildings in New York City.

    Wasn't modernism, international school arch, concerned with affordable housing? What are the risk's foreseen, as seen in towers in a park?

    There is a similar design being done to the Nehemiah Project in Brooklyn. Wierd, but now listening to the program I understand.
