Any density increase is welcomed, but it’s maddening to advocate for when the results are rows of two-car garages topped with what the AIA called a “sea of generic modern boxes.” &nbsp;&nbsp; RSL (residential small lot) is a new designation introduced by the city to promote smaller-scale infill, lowering the bar of land per unit to 2,000 sf - a notable increase in density. RSL falls short in that it still maintains single-family development and its requisite parking + setback requirements, just on a smaller scale. This proposed intervention takes RSL’s principles of high-density, low-rise housing to a conclusion of highest density at single-family scale: eliminating the rings of setbacks required around every house, excavating into the ground to maximize habitable area and preserving open space at grade for residents to enjoy. see here for a full, still image of the animation <img width="1993" height="1993" width_o="1993" height_o="1993" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68809c89390cceba6c15ef86e0a60d98f61a3ef3ed05c3adf373c7a2bfb73b33/IMG_1176-cropped.jpg" data-mid="161660971" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/68809c89390cceba6c15ef86e0a60d98f61a3ef3ed05c3adf373c7a2bfb73b33/IMG_1176-cropped.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b7c95be145dad647328253d947549e1db94c12e0a6a80a36630f7eae2667cfd/IMG_1174-white.jpg" data-mid="161660970" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b7c95be145dad647328253d947549e1db94c12e0a6a80a36630f7eae2667cfd/IMG_1174-white.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47f09e0552bfeb0b6d7b532dbf4c2bc8afddaef1138659f7c9e832b3680cba3a/IMG_1177-white-crop.jpg" data-mid="161660973" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/47f09e0552bfeb0b6d7b532dbf4c2bc8afddaef1138659f7c9e832b3680cba3a/IMG_1177-white-crop.jpg" /> intervention in model form. <img width="3300" height="2550" width_o="3300" height_o="2550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5beb5d78d50811096128986c92ac61bed66a240379d53b9679ed9073db40ced3/1.jpg" data-mid="161664338" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5beb5d78d50811096128986c92ac61bed66a240379d53b9679ed9073db40ced3/1.jpg" /> <img width="3300" height="2550" width_o="3300" height_o="2550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2ee1ec1cc87e30d6b9fa6165f17e95fbf149c7f0887b8878fae642558b90dc0/5.jpg" data-mid="161664339" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2ee1ec1cc87e30d6b9fa6165f17e95fbf149c7f0887b8878fae642558b90dc0/5.jpg" /> speculation on scaling the solution across the block <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c68995487284127b4a74a524762c5903728d676370a71c3a4dcd60589bf97e07/cover.jpg" data-mid="161664342" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c68995487284127b4a74a524762c5903728d676370a71c3a4dcd60589bf97e07/cover.jpg" /> Signs like this can be found in pretty much every well-to-do, left-leaning enclave in the U.S. At the same time, those places are often barricaded with policies that are at odds with the values their signs proclaim: single-family zoning, off-street parking minimums, and restrictive covenants all contribute to a picture that makes homeownership and even renting more and more difficult to attain. The act of adding housing can be received as radical, yet the simple act of receiving more neighbors has transformative potential for the collective health and well-being of our neighborhoods. my gratitude to Casius Pealer and Marianne Desmarais (TuSA) Emilie Taylor Welty and Jose Cotto (the Small Center) Cassidy Maschler (Multistudio) Seth Welty (Colectivo) Frances Richards and Sasha Archibald (Places Journal) and Aron Chang (Civic Studio).

With the goal of increasing access to emerging artists, ACNO conducted outreach to both new and potential market artists. They found that creating a stall to display work is a major barrier to entry to new vendors, as existing prefabricated systems require significant investment. With that in mind, they partnered with the Small Center to create a do-it-yourself prototype for artists to build themselves more affordably. The prototype for a DIY display focuses on customization and modularity. The display is scalable based on an artist’s needs using a system of interchangeable panels. All materials for the system can be purchased at a home improvement store, for approximately $220 (nine-panel three-bay display). A variety of display setups are supported by the system, which allows for variability within the ten by ten tents used at Arts Council markets. Fabricating this system requires a drill and access to a saw, though most home improvement stores will cut materials in-store upon request. Both the materials and the fabricated system can be transported in a small sedan with room for artwork, ensuring most have access to the means to build and bring to market. The design may be used in the relaunch of the Artists as Entrepreneurs program.
