The Boston Society of Architects (BSA) is administering a design competition that encourages students and recent graduates to address the complex issues involved in designing housing for young people with limited resources.
"Finding affordable housing is, to no one's surprise, among the single most daunting challenges for young people who cannot afford to buy into the highly inflated housing markets in Boston and other urban centers," notes architect/educator Peter Wiederspahn AIA, one of the competition's leaders.
Developed and led by Wiederspahn and Utile Inc. designer Susanne Schindler, the competition is designed to encourage innovative/imaginative/practical solutions to this singular challenge. The competition registration deadline is February 17 . The call for entries is available at www.architects.org, click on 'Design awards programs'. Competition award-recipients' work will be exhibited at the BSA's Residential Design Convention and Tradeshow on April 5-6 in Boston.
For more information: e-mail/call Alexandra Lee at the BSA (alee@architects.org / 617-951-1433 x225).
