In New York City, the first juried design competition for affordable and sustainable has found its winner.
"This humble spot at Brook Avenue and 156th Street was the subject of New Housing New York, the city's first juried design competition for affordable and sustainable housing and a component of Mayor Bloomberg's wide-reaching New Housing Marketplace Plan to build and preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing over 10 years."
"The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Urban Development (HPD), which is spearheading the Marketplace Plan, and the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects were among the collaborators who helped realize the competition."
"On January 17 they announced that Grimshaw, whose team includes Dattner Architects and developers Phipps Houses Group and The Jonathan Rose Companies, would develop the site."
