Affordable housing proposals for Las Vegas honored in new design challenge

Buildner Architecture Competitions has announced the results of its Las Vegas Affordable Housing Challenge. Part of the organization’s Affordable Housing series, the competition challenged participants to propose a “flexible, innovative, pilot-phase concept for affordable housing within Greater Las Vegas.” “There is no one right answer to making housing affordable,” the organizers say in their summation of the competition results. “Today, a host of new ideas and platforms are enabling people to own or purchase homes. These creative methods include everything from community co-living facilities to 3D printed homes, stackable modular homes, new zoning policies, and new forms of transit-oriented development.” The winning schemes have been republished below.First Prize: (still) Learning from Las Vegas by Chang Yuan Max Hsu (United States)Read the full post on Bustler
