For more than a year, the AIANY Design for Aging Committee has been exploring how to design suitable housing that will allow our aging population to continue to live independently. The initiative – BOOMING BOROUGHS: Redesigning Aging-in-Place in NYC – was created to increase awareness of the design needs of seniors living in urban areas. The committee produced an all-day charrette followed by a panel discussion where participants addressed this overarching question: How do we create more age-friendly places to live?

Before there were “the Hamptons,” there was “the Rockaways.” Positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay, people flocked to the Rockaways to escape the city streets in the summer. They enjoyed it so much that they planted roots, and today the peninsula contains many diverse ethnic neighborhoods. Living in Rockaway can be heavenly, but after Superstorm Sandy, we now know it can also be a deadly struggle between man and nature.
“Each time a disaster strikes, we bounce back and do better,” says AIANY Executive Director Rick Bell, FAIA. “And there are lessons to be learned from Sandy.”
With this in mind, the FAR ROC competition, jointly sponsored by NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the team of L+M Development Partners, Bluestone Group, and Triangle Properties, along with Enterprise Community Partners and the AIA New York Chapter and its Committee on the Environment (COTE), was announced at the Center for Architecture on 04.16.13.
