Welcome to Denver, Colorado and the 2013 AIA National Convention!

Today’s pre-convention workshop, which focuses on “Leadership in Housing: Creative Strategies for Healthy Neighborhoods” is presented by the AIA’s Housing Knowledge Community (HKC). The HKC, the AIA’s third largest knowledge community, provides leadership on housing issues for the AIA - developing educational programming, maintaining relationships with the industry and the academic world, and sponsoring awards programs. The HKC has over 10,000 members, and the active participation of practitioners like you is crucial to our success and continued visibility within the AIA. In addition to a six-member Advisory Group, we have opportunities for national participation in subcommittees including policy, communication, education and membership. Please contact me if you are interested in joining a subcommittee and becoming more involved with the HKC.

On behalf of this year’s committee, I would like to thank you for participating in today’s pre-convention workshop and invite you to speak with me or other Housing Knowledge Community leaders here today. Multifamily construction continues to increase, driving growth in the residential construction market overall. With increased growth and increased competition, architects working in multifamily housing will be challenged to rise to the top as leaders in the field. This workshop will focus on the expanding role of the architect in addressing critical technical issues while producing beautiful buildings that are well suited to their place and inhabitants.

Please see page 6 of this program for a listing of other housing activities at the 2013 AIA Convention. We particularly hope that you can join us for the Friday evening awards celebration at the University of Colorado Denver. This should prove to be an interesting evening, with the opportunity to hear directly from the award-winning project teams on how they are able to achieve successful and beautiful housing and community projects.

I hope you will join us throughout the week.

Stephen D. Schreiber, FAIAChair, 2013 AIA Housing Knowledge Community

Course SummaryWE202 Leadership in Housing: Creative Strategies for Healthy Neighborhoods is organized by the AIA Housing Knowledge Community Advisory Group. All sessions will be moderated by a member of the Advisory Group.

This day-long, interactive session will focus on issues specific to multifamily residential architects - both affordable and market-rate projects. We will go in-depth on timely topics such as innovative strategies for successful projects, designing for an aging population, new accessibility codes, and critical partnerships for success. The session will focus on the expanding role of the architect in providing leadership in technical issues while producing a beautiful building that is well suited to its place and inhabitants. Rather than a “one size fits all” approach, there are many creative and diverse strategies that architects are utilizing in leading housing projects. The session will include an interactive discussion on the current state of sustainable housing, based on research conducted through HUD Green Academy trainings, specifically regarding green building and healthy housing measures.

Each session throughout the day-long workshop will highlight one or more of the following components:

LEADERSHIP IN HOUSING RESEARCH. Architects are conducting research themselves, and partnering with university and research institutions, to establish metrics and benchmarks for housing performance, as well as using behavioral studies research to inform housing design.

LEADERSHIP IN HOUSING ADVOCACY. Many architects are expanding the traditional role of the architect to become active advocates for healthy, beautiful and appropriate housing. This is reflected in architects seeking positions in government, city and regional planning, taking a more active role in community builders, and providing significant input in the project pro-forma.

LEADERSHIP IN PERFORMANCE. Performance in housing must include not only energy efficiency, systems performance and durability; multifamily housing in today’s competitive economy must also be high performing in terms of neighborhood context, ability to serve a specific user group, and aesthetics.

LEADERSHIP IN PARTNERSHIPS. Housing projects increasingly depend on multiple partners and collaborations, not only for funding and marketing but also to increase the resiliency of the neighborhood and community. We will close the day with a discussion among local developers, representatives from federal agencies and architects in leadership roles to discuss the role of architects as leaders in housing. We will discuss local trends and key projects/neighborhoods that participants may explore later either through formal Convention tours or on their own.

Speakers for this session include:

Session DetailsIntroductions | 08:30 AM - 08:45 AMBelow: Via Verde - The Green Way, Dattner Architects and Grimshaw Architects.

Session 1 | 08:45 AM - 10:50 AM Housing Typologies and Case Studies for the 21st Century Design is often thought of as a luxury rather than a substantive contribution to the function and purpose of a building. This session will kick off the workshop by providing examples of innovative design and design processes that produced sustainable, high performing, healthy and beautiful housing for a variety of user groups and markets. Speakers will showcase projects from the Rose Fellowship throughout the country; the award-winning Via Verde project in the Bronx as an exemplary project for high density, sustainable housing; and state the case for appropriate density in various types of neighborhoods and communities. The workshop will include different categories of housing (affordable/ market/ urban/ rural/ transitional/ mixed-use/ TOD/ supportive/ senior). This workshop will showcase two recent projects which have won multiple awards for good design as well as exemplary social practices. It will also discuss historical housing patterns that are typical to older sections of Denver and offer exemplary ways to think about housing affordability in an urban context. A map is located in the Appendix of this handout to encourage participants to do a self-guided walking tour on their own later in the week.




Session 3 | 01:30 PM - 03:00 PM Housing for Aging and Accessibility Standards

Many architects, both in affordable and market-rate housing, are responding to the needs of a significant aging population. Speakers will share their research and stories from the field on the needs and patterns of our aging populations that can be incorporated in appropriate designs for seniors. They will also discuss the specific and often confusing requirements of new accessibility codes in terms of housing, and creative strategies not only for compliance but for improvements.

Session 4 | 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM Partnerships, Policy & Resiliency: Expanding the Role of the Architect

Leaders in the housing field are realizing the need for critical partnerships to ensure their housing projects are successful. There are many new and emerging collaborations in the policy world that are helping to provide a larger impact with fewer resources. Many cities and small communities are partnering with regional planning efforts and collaborating on a large scale to increase their self-sufficiency and community resiliency. This session will explore the many different facets of leading by collaboration, including a discussion on the HUD/DOT/EPA Partnership on Sustainable Communities. A Denver-based developer will present their work with the Urban Land Institute and local government agencies and neighborhoods, and speakers will discuss community resiliency principles as a means to provide for long term sustainability.

Speakers

Jody Beck is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Colorado Denver. His research focuses on the connections between the politics of daily life, patterns of inhabitation and the design of landscapes at all scales.

Jody has recently published John Nolen and the Metropolitan Landscape, which connects Nolen’s political and social visions with his design proposals by analyzing his extensive writings, personal correspondence and some of his most significant works. While Nolen is best known as a city planner, he trained as a landscape architect and used the titles ‘landscape architect’ and ‘city planner’ interchangeably throughout his career. A prolific practitioner, he was engaged in nearly 400 projects throughout the United States between 1905 and 1936, including town planning, industrial housing, state and city parks, new towns and regional planning. Jody plans to write his next book on the impact of the New Deal on the landscapes of Montana.

At the University of Colorado Denver, Jody teaches a class titled “Site, Society and Environment,” which is premised on the notion that we ought to think of sites as overlapping sets of human and non-human relationships that have moral claims on our professional activity - rather than as mere legal descriptions of boundaries within which we have to balance our client’s expectations with legal limitations on action. He teaches seminars which focus on food systems, the politics underlying the urban American vernacular landscape and utopian urban thought.

“The New Housing New York Legacy Project and Via Verde represents architects re-engaging in the design of affordable housing, the best practices for environmentally friendly design as well as the wider concept of sustainability through community meetings where stakeholder voices were heard and locally-driven planning efforts were used as a model.” Shaun Donovan HUD secretary




Via Verde is an affordable, sustainable residential development comprising 222 apartments in three distinct building types—a 20-story tower at the north end of the site, a 6- to 13-story mid-rise duplex apartment component in the middle, and 2- to 4-story townhouses to the south. The project was the winning entry in the international New Housing New York Legacy Competition, sponsored New York City HPD, the AIA New York, NYSERDA and Enterprise Community Partners. It reflects a public commitment to create the next generation of social housing and seeks to provide a setting for healthy, sustainable living.

A dynamic garden serves as the organizing element for the community. The garden begins as a ground level courtyard and then spirals upwards through a series of programmed, south-facing roof gardens, creating a promenade for residents. A terrace and community room at the top floor of the tower offers dramatic views. The multifunctional gardens create opportunities for active gardening, fruit and vegetable cultivation, recreation and social gathering, while also providing the benefits of storm water control and enhanced insulation. The building takes the form of a “tendril” rising from grade to the tower, enclosing the courtyard and emphasizing a relationship to the natural world.

A main point of entry leads to residential lobbies and townhouse entries located around a courtyard. The ground floor features retail, a community health center, and live-work units, creating a lively street presence. Above the main entrance overlooking the street and courtyard are resident community spaces, including a fitness center.

Totaling 300,00sf with 277,000sf residential, 7,500sf commercial/community and 40,000sf green roof space, Via Verde – The Green Way will set new standards for the sustainable design of affordable housing. The complex is designed to achieve LEED NC Gold certification.

Right: Community gardening plots encourage residents to grow fruits and vegetables




Healthy Living

Via Verde is designed to promote a healthy lifestyle and community. Stairwells with natural light are easily accessible, promoting wellness and encouraging regular use for physical activity.

Cultivating the development of community and pride of place, Via Verde has reserved its premium space – the penthouse floor of the tower building – for the community common room, open to all tenants. Via Verde’s design, incorporating a shared courtyard and large windows, promotes cross ventilation between two outside exposures – increasing the natural circulation of fresh air in the homes and reducing reliance on air conditioning.

Photovoltaic panels provide solar energy to Via Verde and are incorporated into the design of the beautiful outdoor pergolas and south facing facades, introducing the materials into the everyday lives of all residents.

The project aims to highlight health and wellness in its ground floor space, which will be home to a 5,500 square foot wellness center operated by Montefiore Medical Center. A ‘Living Green Guide’ will be given to each resident with information on how to promote energy optimization and green, healthy living.
