Small Infrastructures; Exhibition Opening & Panel Discussion

In March 2021, the Biden Administration released the American Jobs Plan. Earmarking $213B for “quality” and “affordable” housing, yet the bill lacks specificity on how we build houses. Here housing’s problem is into two: a social one of accessibility and equity. And the material of wood, metal, and rocks. Architects can bridge abstract policy ambitions to real construction as these connections are made every day in practice.Although 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 the 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.

Small 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. Moreover, Ten architects teaching at Harvard GSD and Berkeley CED consider the overlaps between academia. Also, Cost is often external to conceptual work, and practice, where budgeting is an essential task. The architectural design of each office will be represented by two boards and a 3/8″ = 1′-0″ handmade architectural model.

Moreover, Join 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. Moreover, we will explore how building assembly can provide a strong foundation for experimentation in designing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
