SUMMARY:Small Infrastructures: Exhibition & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Free \nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\nCulver City\, CA 90232 \n\nExhibition Opening & Panel Discussion: \nThursday\, March 30\, 2023\n6:30 to 8:30 pm \nJoin us on Thursday\, March 30th at the Helms Design Center for a reception and thought-provoking panel discussion featuring Rudabeh Pakravan from Sidell Pakravan Architects\, Andrew Atwood from First Office\, and Melissa Shin from Shin Shin Architecture. The discussion will explore how building assembly can provide a strong foundation for experimentation in designing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). \nRSVP\n\nExhibition Viewing Hours: \nFriday\, March 31: 12:00 to 5:00 pm\nSaturday\, April 1: 12:00 to 4:00 pm\nSunday\, April 2: 12:00 to 4:00 pm \n\nIn March 2021\, the Biden Administration released the American Jobs Plan\, earmarking $213B for “quality” and “affordable” housing\, yet the bill lacks specificity on how houses are to be built. Here housing’s problem is split into two: a social one of accessibility and equity\, and a material one of wood\, metal\, and rocks. Architects can play a unique role in bridging abstract policy ambitions to real construction as these connections are made every day in practice. \nAlthough accessible housing has been cast in many forms\, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) have been a catalyst for including architects in direct policy development. For the first time\, cities are directly contracting with architects to provide designs for private property through pre-approved ADU programs. These programs reflect a plurality of ideas\, though without rigorous consideration for how the costs of site work\, labor\, materials\, and energy make quality housing sustainable. \nSmall Infrastructures is an exhibition of ADU designs that uses the economics of building assembly as the groundwork for experimentation and addresses how cities can work with architects to build quality\, affordable housing under the American Jobs Plan. Ten architects teaching at Harvard GSD and Berkeley CED consider the overlaps between academia\, where cost is often external to conceptual work\, and practice\, where budgeting is an integral task. The architectural design of each office will be represented by two boards and a 3/8″ = 1′-0″ handmade architectural model. \nCurated by Michelle Chang and Rudabeh Pakravan \n\nParticipants Include:\nLyndon Neri & Rossana Hu\, Neri&Hu Design and Research Office\nLisa Iwamoto\, IwamotoScott Architecture\nSean Canty\, Studio Sean Canty (SSC)\nAndrew Atwood\, First Office\nYasmin Vobis\, Ultramoderne\nMark Anderson\, Anderson Anderson Architecture\nNeyran Turan\, NEMESTUDIO\nMichelle Chang\, JaJa Co.\nRudabeh Pakravan\, Sidell Pakravan Architects
