I'm honored to be part of AIA CA Housing Steering Committee that drafted this housing policy. Adequate housing for all! 1. People should have access to housing or living facilities which are safe, functional, sustainable and supportive of their activities and aspirations. 2. Investments in housing and living facilities should be made with consideration of emergency preparedness, development of sustainable long-term infrastructure, and the shaping of functional, sustainable, enriching, and supportive city making. The architectural design process can balance all dimensions of success, including equity and shared civic values. 3. Regulatory and code change must carefully consider potential unintended consequences, such as increased costs of delivering housing solutions. Architects can assist in ensuring that local context, site conditions, environmental goals, planning processes, design considerations, and construction methods are included in the formation of rules and processes so that well-intended goals and objectives can be made more efficient and cost effective while also maintaining adequate health, safety and welfare. 4. California communities must work to address the housing needs of their residents, including but not limited to affordable, supportive, missing middle, and market rate sectors. A community’s housing should include provisions for current and emerging issues such as different work modes, differing family and cohabitation needs, and those who have special needs or care. It should also address both emergency living facilities as well as permanent supportive architecture. 5. Architects often embrace collaboration and work with stakeholders in problem-solving discussions because open dialogue usually leads to the most inclusive form of functional, cost effective, climate responsive, enriching, supportive and durable solutions. The best design solutions promote effective stewardship of our environment as well as our communities. 6. The most successful housing design contributes to the enhancement of our communities in all dimensions: function, social equity, resource management, aesthetic enrichment, natural environment, health & wellness, and economic vitality. Architectural professionals are an essential part of shaping comprehensive housing solutions, especially when done in partnership with other types of housing advocates.

The second episode of season 3 of Lights | Cities + Architecture is now live. Antony DiMase and I sat down to talk about the impact of war on cities. Our conversation crosses the history of 20th and 21st century conflict, different approaches to post-war rebuilding, and the impact of the destruction of cities on communities and culture. And most importantly, in the context of the current conflicts happening all over the world, why we should be talking about this now. #conflict #war #cities #rebuilding
