This panel is presented along with the New Housing New York exhibition, Power House, which illuminates the people, projects, and public policies that fuel the affordable housing landscape in New York City.
As New York City’s first juried design competition for affordable, sustainable housing, the New Housing New York Legacy Project (NHNY) is generating creative, replicable approaches to urban development. The exhibition focuses on the NHNY competition and sets it within the context of the city’s efforts to preserve and development sustainable, financially viable residences for low- and middle-income New Yorkers. The show’s emphasis is on the future of housing in the city, as represented by the competition winner, Phipps Rose Dattner Grimshaw, the four finalists, and the development mechanisms put in place by Mayor Bloomberg’s 10-year New Housing Marketplace initiative and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Building on the 2004 New Housing New York Ideas Competition, the 2006 two-stage contest will result in construction of the winning design on a 40,000 square-foot Bronx site, which is valued at $4.3 million and was donated by The City of New York.

Energy Star, LEED and available tax credits were given.Over 50 people attended the 2nd Community Workshop on September 25,

New Housing New York encourages respondents to form creative teams. Each team is required to include a NYS registered architect and a developer, and may incorporate others as desired. As our project is a follow-up to the 2004 NHNY Design Ideas Competition, which drew entries from many young architects, we encourage established firms to partner with emerging designers and developers.
To help facilitate creative teaming, we have set up an NHNY online networking site and a corresponding networking reception at the June 19 kick-off event. Architects and developers can post mission statements on our networking website and describe the firms with whom they would like to team. The kick-off event presents an opportunity for potential RFP respondents to show their firms’ portfolios (paper or battery-powered laptop) and to connect with other developers and designers. Images uploaded to our website by June 16 will be displayed in a running slideshow during the event The evening will be co-hosted by Laurie Hawkinson and Ric Scofidio. Ms. Hawkinson is a professor of Architecture at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture Preservation and Planning and a partner at Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects. Mr. Scofidio is a partner at Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
New Housing New York Legacy Project Press Event, with Commissioner Shaun Donovan of HPD. 234 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY (at Morris Avenue) The Bronx Community Board 1 sponsored a Community Workshop for the New Housing New York Legacy Project, a new affordable housing project in the Bronxchester Urban Renewal Area of the Bronx. The Site is located at the southeast corner of E. 156th St. and Brook Avenue, just northeast of the HUB. The workshop was open to all, and focused on elements of sustainable building, housing amenitites, design, and affordability.
The community workshop produced valuable feedback and was successful in energizing the local community about the project. CB1 Chairman George Rodriguez made introductions and Tara Siegel presented the Legacy project. We then broke into three groups of about 10 community members each to discuss a series of questions about what kind of developments would most benefit the community.
Tara Siegel, Susan Wright, and Evan Supcoff moderated the discussions and several other volunteers helped with note-taking, set-up, photography, etc. During the last 10 minutes of the 40-minute discussions, each group came up with five top points. We came together to wrap up the evening and to vote (with stickers) on the top priorities of those collected from the three groups. The priorities were as follows:
The top priorities in order of preference, as articulated by participants at the May 31st workshop are:
· On-site power production
· Generous room sizes with more usable space to accommodate furniture comfortably, private dining room area
· A minimum of 50% of the units affordable to low-income people in the community
· Quality and beneficial mixed use: Healthy Foods Store, Good Supermarket, Bookstore
· Encourage affordable home ownership and diversity, civic pride and stability
· Build a showcase for sustainable design elements
· Building should blend in with neighborhood context, not a “new box”
· Windows in bathrooms and kitchens
· Recreation/community center space, daycare and programs for youth
· A beautiful and safe building and community
· Green space on interior and exterior
· Laundry for residents in each unit or floor, not in basement, with exterior views
· Light and open space
