Making Room:New Models for Housing New Yorkers showcases
innovative design solutions to better accommodate New York City’s
changing, and sometimes surprising, demographics, including a rising
number of single people, and will feature a full-sized, flexibly
furnished micro-studio apartment of just 325 square feet – a size
prohibited in most areas of the city. Visitors to the exhibition will
see models and drawings of housing designs by architectural teams
commissioned in 2011 by Citizens Housing & Planning Council, in
partnership with the Architectural League of New York. The exhibition
also presents winning designs from the Bloomberg administration’s
recently launched pilot competition to test new housing models, as well
as examples set by other cities in the United States and around the
world, including Seattle, Providence, Montreal, San Diego, and Tokyo.
