4 AIA CES Learning Units|HSW | 4 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Elective)
This series explores the design and execution of new contemporary classical and traditional work from the practitioner’s perspective. Each session offers a deep dive into a unique project or building type to demystify the complexities of how challenging projects successfully come together.This iteration of the series provides an in-depth examination of three affordable housing projects in the city of Santa Barbara, California. Building affordable housing remains one of the most challenging sectors in architectural design. Dignified housing that is affordable, located in neighborhoods that are walkable, and is of the quality and character of market-rate housing, while also being financially viable to build, is in short supply. However, public agencies, organizations, architects, and planners are making strides in addressing this deficiency. Their work offers hope and inspires solutions. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara is one such entity. HACSB is a public agency that has a long track record of providing safe and quality affordable housing and supportive services to eligible persons with limited incomes while also being a catalyst for thoughtful design. HACSB is the recipient of the 2022 ICAA Gindroz Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing. The case studies examined in this course will include three projects built and operated by the HACSB and designed by the Cearnal Collective.This program will begin with a series of presentations on the context both in Santa Barbara and nationally, followed by individual case studies of three affordable housing projects. The lectures, which will take place at the Kimpton Canary Hotel, will be followed by a walking tour of two of the properties discussed in the presentations. There will be opportunities for questions and informal discussion.
