Building development and operating costs are leading obstacles to building affordable housing. In New York City, expenses such as land, materials, utilities, and labor drive the cost to an average of $350,000 per 1,000-square-foot unit built. The high price of building obstructs public and private housing development for all levels of income. Currently on view at the Center for Architecture, “Designing Affordability” presents 23 global and local case studies of housing projects – some built or in process, others speculative – that approach affordability broadly and through adaptable, resourceful, and technological means.

Time and Perspective at the Water’s Edge
At the intersection of history, art, and literature, Elizabeth Felicella and Robert Sullivan’s “Sea Level: Five Boroughs from Water’s Edge” presents the complexity of the East River waterfront through an ostensibly simple form: two enormous panoramic composite photographs mounted in parallel and accompanied by interpretive prose. Capturing time through this linear assembly of water-level images, the exhibition shows how New York has developed over the decades while retaining components of its maritime and industrial past. It is a must-see show for anyone interested in the city’s evolution and the myriad stories its built environment contains. Continue reading “Time and Perspective at the Water’s Edge”
