Reviews"A recent studio at Yale School of Architecture had students proposing affordable housing solutions for NYCHA's Washington Houses in East Harlem; the public housing project consists of more than a dozen towers on three superblocks that are the equivalent of seven city blocks, with open space comprising more than 85% of the site. The students developed master plans and then designed schemes ranging from reimagined brownstones to terraced housing and other ways of weaving more units between the existing buildings. It's refreshing to see architecture students tackling affordable housing in creative ways." --A Weekly Dose of Architecture

SynopsisThe book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York Citythrough a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture thatintegrate form and provide social programs for the residents. The students investigated the relationship between housing, equity, health,and community. The students developed comprehensive frameworks for theWashington Houses, three connected superblocks equivalent to seven NewYork City blocks. The concepts focused on restitching the project into the city street grid andsought ways to add new built fabric that would allow the Modernist towers-in-the park project to connect with public streets. Some found ways to keepthe superblock with interventions to support the community at differentscales and family structures. Urban farms and community facilities as well asrecreation spaces were included in order to have a range of interventions forcare, health, and equity that could reorient public housing., The book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York City through a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture that integrate form and provide social programs for the residents.
