The goal of the Fifth Ward CRC is to provide high-quality affordable housing, and the architects selected responded with designs innovation in both aesthetic and financial issues. 16 Houses documents the house proposals in striking renderings and photographs, and also addresses the question of affordable housing locally and nationally. Thus the volume provides a new model of collaborative design between institutions that can respond with innovation and vigor to federal initiatives in housing policy. |
