Every region of this country has a pressing need for housing that is attainable and supports human thriving. David Baker Architects (DBA) delivers on this need in California, the Southeast, and beyond. DBA is known for exceptional housing, creative site strategies, and designing for density. The award-winning practice is at the forefront of the housing field, designing thoughtful, sustainable, future-oriented places that bolster community and elevate lives. 9 Ways to Make Housing for People (ORO Editions), is DBA’s book about its approach to designing affordable and market-rate housing. Principal Caroline Souza, AIA, will share these strategies through built and new work, making the case for the power of design, even on tight budgets, to make homes and communities that are vibrant and resilient. The lecture will explore these accessible strategies captured in the book, as well as DBA’s core design principles (Design for Human Experience, Connect to Place, Do More with Less, and Bet on the Future).
Event will be on March 12, from 230-4pm CT, at AIA Kansas City. Link to register coming soon.
