by Urban Ominbus
"On Thursday, September 24th, housing experts from the worlds of design, development, law, policy and government gathered at the Japan Society for One Size Fits Some an international symposium convened by the Citizen's Housing and Planning Council (CHPC). The symposium is part of wider research project by CHPC that takes a fresh look at housing and space standards in New York City.
The program included presentations by six architects from Tokyo, Barcelona, San Diego, Montreal and Leipzig, each of whom shared their unique insights on designing and planning compact, shared, and flexible housing to meet the shifting needs of dynamic 21st century households. Their reflections were designed to begin a dialogue here in New York City intended to address the challenges of changing our existing regulatory framework."
