Housing Different Panel
An expert panel, together with participating designers and the public, examined the nature and extent of the current housing shortage, reviewed innovative housing strategies that have been successful elsewhere, and identified opportunities for meaningful change within our city’s physical and political landscape. The discussion was moderated by Friends of Architecture Santa Fe and our panelists included:

Housing Different Design Charette
The Housing Different panel discussion was a kick-off for an open-format design charrette where designers responded with blue-sky design concepts for building sites, housing types, financial models, and/or policy solutions that they propose. Thirteen provocative proposals were presented to the public and a panel of experts at form + concept gallery.
