Design Excellence in Affordable and Supportive Housing - 11.11.2020

Please join the AIANY Women in Architecture Committee in an important and timely discussion focused on design excellence in affordable and supportive housing in New York City. Leaders representing the architect, client, and public agencies will demonstrate how close collaboration is essential in providing access to housing—a fundamental right—to our most vulnerable communities. As the industry works to respond to a health and economic crisis, we will explore strategies to provide safe, equitable, and sustainable housing.

Join us for an inspiring presentation and discussion of how shared values lead the way to realizing healthy and affordable housing that will have a lasting impact.
