Painful reminders are needed in order to not allow horrific mistakes to be repeated. Proud to be delivering this memorial for the community.

Calling all Girl Scouts! Have you ever met an #architect? 🤔 Well, now you have the chance! Stop by booth #1115 at #PhenomByGirlScouts to ask an architect all about architecture (& play with Legos!).

Great to see this broke ground in East Garfield Park. Savvy marriage of #greendesign and #affordablehousing & winner of C40 Cities global design competition. A fine outcome for #vacantland near transit! #ETOD #missingmiddle Nia Architects Perkins&Will Chicago bit.ly/3rJAS79

We are working on affordable housing developments in 10 community areas in Chicago on the north, west, and south sides of the city. We have great design peers doing the same in two dozen others, but we need all hands on deck to address the need in every single corner of the city.

The school closings were unjust, but we're helping breathe new life into the former Woods Elementary as affordable housing, & a health center. blockclubchicago.org/2023/06/21/eng… A rare example of one of the closed schools becoming something for everyone in the community to enjoy again.

A first step in clearing the way for construction, & the Transit Supportive Development plan that SolomonCordwellBuenz authored with our assistance will guide how some of parts of these parcels are redeveloped once the extension is complete.

Remember the Standard 6-3 and Standard 8-3 multi-unit building design we promoted that the #ConnectedCommunities ordinance makes possible again? Aggregate Studio created this massing diagram & unit layout to visualize how it could be designed. chicagocityscape.com/guide/standard…

Same issues have been straining the Black communities in Chicago, combined with systemic inequities whose symptoms manifest in violence & health disparities. Stabilizing existing affordable housing, & building new housing supply near transit that gets people to jobs is critical.
