This rapid-fire course features three architects highlighting innovative residential practices and the director of a non-profit organization that teaches teens design and carpentry through community-based projects.

Kailin Gregga, AIA, LEED AP+BDC from Best Practice Architecture, shows us how to incorporate sustainable strategies in DADU’s and small residential projects with an amusing comparison to avocado toast.

Kevin Kudo-King, AIA, LEED AP of Olson Kundig, explains how a stunning “Treehouse” in Costa Rica responds to the local climate, reduces energy consumption and sequesters carbon dioxide.

Geoff Piper of Fivedot Architects, makes a compelling case for increasing housing density and equity by adding more DADU’s throughout the Seattle region.

Sarah Smith, Executive Director of Sawhorse Revolution, presents a case study of the design and construction of a community library that taught young women and youths of color how to transform themselves and their communities through a hands-on project.

The rapid-fire presentations are followed by an insightful discussion with audience members.

AIA Seattle’s 6-part series examines how residential design and practice is ever-evolving across changing circumstances,. What are the precedents shaping design decisions today? And what practices today might present new and innovative possibilities for the future? This year’s Innovation in Housing Design Forum highlights some of the most innovative and inspiring work in this region spanning the past, present, and future of residential practice. 18 presenters discuss how we are transforming the way we design residential structures ranging from tiny DADU’s to larger scale housing hanging over the cliffs of Norway. Addressing the constraints and opportunities of designing in the Pacific Northwest and similar regions, sessions explore: designing for people and place; innovative modes of practice and collaboration; sustainable and equitable decision-making; and new materials and technologies.
