Join us on November 4, from 5-7pm for a talk on middle housing, organized by Smallworks. Hear Jake Fry, Marianne Amodio, Shirley Shen and Michael Leckie talk about the realities, philosophies, implications, and possibilities of soft density and small-scale developments.
Plot the Lot: Incremental, Communal, Citizen Developers
The frontier of housing is middle. This talk takes on the state of the urban middle in our local context and explores how new middle housing typologies act as manifestos for how we live now and together.
Structured in four parts—The Original Solution, Social Density, Contextual Density, and Open-Source Housing—we interpret the role of the Citizen Developers, and consider how participatory housing might reshape the narrative of the housing crisis into one about commons, not commodities.
The nature of housing is incremental: from the ground up, and in all of our hands.
