For as many alluring and practical reasons there are to live in New York City, there are just as many (or more) aspects of city life that are difficult, imbalanced, or inequitable.
This issue of Oculus will focus on the ways in which architects are working to make the city a more livable place for citizens of all types—including themselves. In this issue, the editors encourage op-ed submissions that address aspects of improving life in the city through design. How can the profession work to mitigate the effects of disasters, adapt existing buildings to meet the housing crisis, and solve urban issues underlying some of the city’s structural inequities or failures of infrastructure?
Please submit op-eds of approximately 800 words to editor@aiany.org by August 15. Or, submit via an online form here.
