Description

Through this project we decided to focus on different design implementations that can support and benefit different types of housing in this transitional period towards more affordable, communal, and climate resilient ways of living. We focused in:

- Housing not for monetary value: rejecting profit-driven construction. A house is not just a shelter. A house should not be a commodity. Rent can and should decrease overtime.
- Housing as a living organism: adapting based on residents' needs and desires. A symbiotic system, mutually benefiting the ones within and arount it.

Jury Report

Not all entries came from professionals working in housing design and planning. This entry explicitly presents a stirring counter-perspective. In a powerful call for more diverse housing and more community agency in determining housing forms and options, the collective authors penned a manifesto that calls for housing as a living organism, with food and pollinator gardens and even facades that could foster symbiotic coexistence among species. Their proposal is a reminder that housing forms, governance and communities of care all need rethinking.
